Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs. Depending on context, programs may run on a single processor or on multiple separate processors.
Transparent Memory-Mapped Emulation of I/O Calls
ActiveUS20090113425A1Memory architecture accessing/allocationError detection/correctionSemanticsMemory map
A virtual-machine-based system provides a mechanism to implement application file I / O operations of protected data by implementing the I / O operations semantics in a shim layer with memory-mapped regions. The semantics of these I / O operations are emulated in a shim layer with memory-mapped regions by using a mapping between a process' address space and a file or shared memory object. Data that is protected from viewing by a guest OS running in a virtual machine may nonetheless be accessed by the process.

Method and apparatus for reducing inefficiencies in shared memory devices
InactiveUS20030043158A1Cathode-ray tube indicatorsDigital output to display deviceGraphicsGraphic system
A graphics system that may be shared between multiple display channels includes a frame buffer, an arbiter, and two pixel output buffers. The arbiter arbitrates between the display channels' requests for display information from the frame buffer and forwards a selected request to the frame buffer. The frame buffer is divided into a first and a second portion. The arbiter alternates display channel requests for data between the first and second portions of the frame buffer. The frame buffer outputs display information in response to receiving the forwarded request, and pixels corresponding to this display information are stored in the output buffers. The arbiter selects which request to forward to the frame buffer based on a relative state of neediness of each of the requesting display channels.

Memory controller for controlling memory accesses across networks in distributed shared memory processing systems
InactiveUS6044438AMore efficient cache coherent systemData processing applicationsMemory adressing/allocation/relocationRemote memory accessRemote direct memory access
A shared memory parallel processing system interconnected by a multi-stage network combines new system configuration techniques with special-purpose hardware to provide remote memory accesses across the network, while controlling cache coherency efficiently across the network. The system configuration techniques include a systematic method for partitioning and controlling the memory in relation to local verses remote accesses and changeable verses unchangeable data. Most of the special-purpose hardware is implemented in the memory controller and network adapter, which implements three send FIFOs and three receive FIFOs at each node to segregate and handle efficiently invalidate functions, remote stores, and remote accesses requiring cache coherency. The segregation of these three functions into different send and receive FIFOs greatly facilitates the cache coherency function over the network. In addition, the network itself is tailored to provide the best efficiency for remote accesses.

Distributed server for real-time collaboration
InactiveUS6334141B1Avoid focusSpecial service provision for substationDigital computer detailsExtensibilityData collaboration
A distributed server for real-time collaboration is substituted for a centralized server to address the problem of the development of unacceptable communication and computation bottlenecks resulting from the use of a one-software-process-based centralized server running somewhere on the available network. The substitute distributed server improves scaleability of real-time collaboration by being based on multiple, independently-communicating, asynchronous, independent (i.e., no shared memory, data, variables, etc.) software processes. The processes can be distributed to multiple machines throughout the network and run simultaneously in order to avoid the centralized server's bottlenecks. To be used, a distributed server requires a disjoint, fully covering partitioning of a work space, wherein it can handle partition hierarchies and groups comprehensively. The distributed server solution is general because of the ability of distributed servers to work with different definitions of a modification. The distributed server solution is extensible because of its simple and comprehensive treatment of inter-partition synchronization.

Pseudo-ethernet switch without ethernet media-access-controllers (MAC's) that copies ethernet context registers between PCI-express ports
A Pseudo-Ethernet switch has a routing table that uses Ethernet media-access controller (MAC) addresses to route Ethernet packets through a switch fabric between an input port and an output port. However, the input port and output port have Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) interfaces that read and write PCI-Express packets to and from host-processor memories. When used in a blade system, host processor boards have PCIE physical links that connect to the PCIE ports on the Pseudo-Ethernet switch. The Pseudo-Ethernet switch does not have Ethernet MAC and Ethernet physical layers, saving considerable hardware. The switch fabric can be a cross-bar switch or can be a shared memory that stores Ethernet packet data embedded in the PCIE packets. Write and read pointers for a buffer storing an Ethernet packet in the shared memory can be passed from input to output port to perform packet switching.
