Appl. No.:

09/531280

Inventors:

David V. James - Palo Alto CA
Bruce Fairman - Woodside CA
David Hunter - Santa Barbara CA

Assignee:

Sony Corporation - Tokyo
Sony Electronics, Inc. - Park Ridge NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

710104, 370258

Abstract:

A method and system for ordering an interconnect topology to form a ring structure, the topology comprising a number of nodes, are described. In one embodiment, a self identifier for each of the nodes is determined. Further, the self identifier is mapped to a ring identifier for each node. In addition, each node computes the ring identifier of one of its port-connected nodes as its topologically adjacent neighbor identifier.

Abstract:

Computer method and apparatus allows instrumentation of program modules while maintaining exception-handling unwinding context. In the case of instrumenting procedure prologues, the invention preserves the calling context. A sanitized copy of the prologue and rewind instructions to reverse the effects of duplicate prologue instructions are employed.

US Classification:

710306, 710307, 710312, 710313, 710310, 710 60, 710 61

Abstract:

A method and system for adjusting the bandwidth allocated for isochronous data traffic on an interconnected data bus is disclosed. The present system uses an isochronous resource manager (IRM) to sense a bandwidth change request from a talker. The IRM instigates a bandwidth adjustment associated with the bandwidth change request to one or more bus bridge portals.

Abstract:

A method and system for using a new bus identifier in an interconnect, and the interconnect including a plurality of nodes and at least one bus bridge. A configuration change is determined on the first bus connected to the plurality of nodes. Each node has a corresponding bus identifier. A new bus identifier is assigned for each node having a changed state if a configuration change is determined on the first bus.

Abstract:

Method and system of managing transactions. The transactions may be executed over different networks, such as but not limited to networks associated with different cable television service providers. The transactions may be monitored so that product purchases may be facilitated without requiring product vendors to support electronic communications with each of the networks. The transactions may also be monitored to tabulate metrics and other measurables reported from the different networks in such a manner that the vendors can receive a report without having to understand the reporting and tabulating means used by the different networks to measure the same metrics.

International Classification:

G06F 945

US Classification:

395705

Abstract:

A compiler-loader system enables the creation of different loaded executable images in target computers complying with different versions of an instruction-set architecture, the different images being created from a single executable program on secondary storage. The compiler generates an executable program containing a routine executable on both versions of the target computers, and also containing an architecture entry with (i) an address of the program location from which the routine is called, (ii) an instruction executable on only one version of the target computers that performs the same function as the routine but with superior performance, and (iii) a value indicating which version of the target machines the instruction can be executed on. The loader determines whether the target machine can execute the instruction, and if so replaces the subroutine call appearing at the address in the architecture entry with the instruction appearing in the architecture entry.
