20080240140	Network interface with receive classification - A network interface that provides improved processing of received packets in a networked computer by classifying packets as they are received.

20100153514	Non-disruptive, reliable live migration of virtual machines with network data reception directly into virtual machines' memory - Techniques are disclosed for the non-disruptive and reliable live migration of a virtual machine (VM) from a source host to a target host, where network data is placed directly into the VM's memory. When a live migration begins, a network interface card (NIC) of the source stops placing newly received packets into the VM's memory. A virtual server driver (VSP) on the source stores the packets being processed and forces a return of the memory where the packets are stored to the NIC. When the VM has been migrated to the target, and the source VSP has transferred the stored packets to the target host, the VM resumes processing the packets, and when the VM sends messages to the target NIC that the memory associated with a processed packet is free, a VSP on the target intercepts that message, blocking the target NIC from receiving it.	06-17-2010

20080243414	Determining a design attribute by estimation and by calibration of estimated value - A computer-implemented method of determining an attribute of a circuit includes using a computationally expensive technique to simulate the attribute (such as timing delay or slew) of a portion of the circuit, at predetermined values of various parameters (e.g. nominal values of channel length or metal width), to obtain at least a first value of the attribute. The method also uses a computationally inexpensive technique to estimate the same attribute, thereby to obtain at least a second value which is less accurate than the first value. Then the computationally inexpensive technique is repeatedly used on other values of the parameter(s), to obtain a number of additional second values of the attribute. Applying to the additional second values, a function obtained by calibrating the at least one second value to the at least one first value, can yield calibrated estimates very quickly, which represent the attribute's variation relatively accurately.	10-02-2008
20090055787	Generation of Engineering Change Order (ECO) Constraints For Use In Selecting ECO Repair Techniques - Static timing and/or noise analysis are performed on a netlist of an integrated circuit, to estimate behavior of the netlist and to identify at least one violation by said behavior of a corresponding requirement thereon, such as setup time, hold time or bump height in a quiescent net. Thereafter, effect of engineering change order (ECO) to correct the violation are automatically analyzed, based on the layout, the parasitics, the timing and/or noise behavior, and the violation, followed by generation of a constraint on the behavior (called “ECO” constraint), such as a timing constraint and/or a noise constraint. Next, the ECO constraint is automatically used, e.g. in a place and route tool, to select an ECO repair technique, from several ECO repair techniques that can overcome the violation. The selected ECO repair technique is automatically applied to the layout, to generate a modified layout which does not have the violation.	02-26-2009
20090089729	Distorted Waveform Propagation and Crosstalk Delay Analysis Using Multiple Cell Models - A method to perform timing analysis for a complex logic cell with distorted input waveform and coupled load networks is presented. Timing arc based models are used in conjunction with CCB based current models of portions of the logic cell to compute the output signal of the logic cell.

20100198539	FAST AND ACCURATE ESTIMATION OF GATE OUTPUT LOADING - Embodiments of a computer system, a method, an integrated circuit and a computer-program product (i.e., software) for use with the computer system are described. These devices and techniques may be used to analyze an electrical characteristic of a logic gate electrically coupled to an output network in a stage. In particular, during the analysis, the effective capacitance of an output network coupled to a logic gate is approximated as a function of a total resistance of the output network, a total capacitance of the output network, and a geometric parameter of the output network. For example, the effective capacitance may be approximated as a function of a ratio of the product of the total resistance and the total capacitance to the fanout count of the output network. Using the effective capacitance and other parameters, such as a slew rate of an electrical signal applied to an input of the logic gate, an electrical characteristic of the logic gate, such as an input capacitance, is determined.	08-05-2010
20100229136	CROSSTALK TIME-DELAY ANALYSIS USING RANDOM VARIABLES - Embodiments of a computer system, a method, an integrated circuit and a computer-program product (i.e., software) for use with the computer system are described. These devices and techniques may be used to calculate the total time delay in a signal path due to crosstalk from a group of crosstalk aggressors that are associated with a group of signal paths. In order to properly account for statistical behaviors in the switching times and directions of the switching patterns in the group of signal paths, the time-delay contribution from each of these crosstalk aggressors may be modeled as a corresponding statistical random variable. Because the number of crosstalk aggressors are usually much larger than the number of stages in the signal path, the calculated total path delay may be less pessimistic. Furthermore, in order to detect potential timing violations, the time-delay contributions from additional dominant crosstalk aggressors can be modeled using non-statistical worst-case deterministic values.	09-09-2010
20110113396	DETERMINING A DESIGN ATTRIBUTE BY ESTIMATION AND BY CALIBRATION OF ESTIMATED VALUE - A computer-implemented method of determining an attribute of a circuit includes using a computationally expensive technique to simulate the attribute (such as timing delay or slew) of a portion of the circuit, at predetermined values of various parameters (e.g. nominal values of channel length or metal width), to obtain at least a first value of the attribute. The method also uses a computationally inexpensive technique to estimate the same attribute, thereby to obtain at least a second value which is less accurate than the first value. Then the computationally inexpensive technique is repeatedly used on other values of the parameter(s), to obtain a number of additional second values of the attribute.

A power detector can detect the desired output power level to provide an output power measurement. The calibration circuit calibrates upper and lower power thresholds to provide an acceptable range of power variation around the output power measurement.	09-02-2010

20090302966	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMAL FREQUENCY PLANNING FOR AN INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE RECEIVERS - Methods and systems for optimal frequency planning for an integrated communication system with multiple receivers may include adjusting a center frequency of a low IF signal to reduce interference by a second order interference signal. The center frequency may be adjusted to avoid high power portions of the second order interference signal. The interference level corresponding to a center frequency may be determined by, for example, a SNR of the low IF signal, or by determining a BER for the low IF signal. The center frequency of the low IF signal may be dynamically adjusted to keep second order interference level at an acceptable level. Adjusting the center frequency of the low IF signal may also comprise keeping the low IF signal from being blocked by a DC component of the second order interference signal.	12-10-2009
