| 20090022160 | LOW-LATENCY SCHEDULING IN LARGE SWITCHES - Embodiments of a scheduler for a switch, where the switch is configured to couple input ports to output ports are described. During operation, the scheduler may determine a schedule based on a group of requests, associated with multiple data streams, that are received for the output ports of the switch, where the schedule matches input ports to output ports of the switch for a given data cell time. Note that the schedule may be determined using an arbitration technique during a time interval. Moreover, the scheduler may assign an additional request, which was received at a time that precedes a current time by less than the time interval, to a portion of the switch which is available in the schedule, thereby reducing a latency of the scheduler. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090322377 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SIZING FLOW CONTROL BUFFERS - A system that includes a first buffer and a second buffer, wherein the first buffer and the second buffer are connected to the same input, wherein a size of the first buffer is defined by a distance of the first buffer from the input and a transfer rate of data, wherein a size of the second buffer is defined by a distance of the second buffer from the input and the transfer rate of data, and wherein the distance between the first buffer and the input is different from the distance between the second buffer and the input. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100238949 | FAST AND FAIR ARBITRATION ON A DATA LINK - Embodiments of a circuit, a buffered crosspoint switch that includes the circuit and a computer system that includes the switch are described. In this circuit and switch, deep crosspoint buffers are replaced with smaller distributed buffers. This modification reduces the cost of the switch and improves the scaling properties of the architecture. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100246590 | DYNAMIC ASSIGNMENT OF DATA TO SWITCH-INGRESS BUFFERS - Embodiments of a system that includes a switch and a buffer-management technique for storing signals in the system are described. In this system, data cells are dynamically assigned from a host buffer to at least a subset of switch-ingress buffers in the switch based at least in part on the occupancy of the switch-ingress buffers. This buffer-management technique may reduce the number of switch-ingress buffers relative to the number of input and output ports to the switch, which in turn may overcome the limitations posed by the amount of memory available on chips, thereby facilitating large switches. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100329250 | SIMPLE FAIRNESS PROTOCOLS FOR DAISY CHAIN INTERCONNECTS - A method for transmitting packets, including forwarding a first set of upstream packets and a first set of local packets by inserting at least one of the first set of local packets between subsets of the first set of upstream packets according to a first insertion rate; calculating a second insertion rate after forwarding a predetermined number of upstream packets generated by a single upstream source, by dividing a cardinality of the first set of upstream packets by a greatest common divisor of the predetermined number and the cardinality of the first set of upstream packets; and forwarding a second set of upstream packets and a second set of local packets from the local switch to the downstream switch by inserting at least one of the second set of local packets between subsets of the second set of upstream packets according to the second insertion rate. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110167191 | ARCHITECTURE FOR AN OUTPUT BUFFERED SWITCH WITH INPUT GROUPS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system that transfers data between the components in the computer system through a switch. In these embodiments, the switch includes multiple switch chips which are coupled together and are configured to collectively function as a switch. During operation, each switch chip, receives cells from the subset of the set of inputs and selectively transfers each of the cells to at least one output of the subset of the set of outputs coupled to the switch chip or of the subset of the set of outputs coupled to the other switch chips. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20080215658 | GENERIC IMPLEMENTATIONS OF ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY USING PARTIAL REDUCTION - A reduction operation is utilized in an arithmetic operation on two binary polynomials X(t) and Y(t) over GF(2), where an irreducible polynomial M | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090067619 | Modular Multiplier - Modular multiplication of two elements X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), where m is a field degree, may utilize field degree to determine, at least in part, the number of iterations. An extra shift operation may be employed when the number of iterations is reduced. Modular multiplication of two elements X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), may include a shared reduction circuit utilized during multiplication and reduction. In addition, a modular multiplication of binary polynomials X(t) and Y(t), over GF(2), may utilize the Karatsuba algorithm, e.g., by recursively splitting up a multiplication into smaller operands determined according to the Karatsuba algorithm. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110125073 | ENHANCED CLEARANCE IN AN ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY INCORPORATING A PULSATILE PUMP - A continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) device is provided that weighs between 2 and 10 pounds. The CRRT device can be portable, mobile or completely worn on the person of the patient. Blood and dialysate are each pumped in a pulsed or pulsatile manner through a dialyzer such that a significant portion of the peak pulse of the blood flow coincides with a significant portion of a low pulse portion of the dialysate flow. An differential pressure between a dialysate inlet of the dialyzer and the blood inlet of the dialyzer periodically changes from a high differential pressure of between 70 and 120 mmHg for a first time period and a low differential pressure of between −10 and 10 mmHg for a first time period and a low differential pressure of between −10 and 10 mmHg for a second time period. The frequency of the high and low differential pressure cycle is between about 0.5 and 4 Hz. | 05-26-2011 |
