A database store method and system for a virtual persistent heap may include an Application Programming Interface (API) that provides a mechanism to cache portions of the virtual heap into an in-memory heap for use by an application. The virtual heap may be stored in a persistent store that may include one or more virtual persistent heaps, with one virtual persistent heap for each application running in the virtual machine. Each virtual persistent heap may be subdivided into cache lines. The store API may provide atomicity on the store transaction to substantially guarantee the consistency of the information stored in the database. The database store API provides several calls to manage the virtual persistent heap in the store. The calls may include, but are not limited to: opening the store, closing the store, atomic read transaction, atomic write transaction, and atomic delete transaction.

A signal processing system according to various aspects of the present invention includes an excursion signal generator, a scaling system and a filter system. The excursion signal generator identifies a peak portion of a signal that exceeds a threshold and generates a corresponding excursion signal. The scaling system applies a real scale factor to contiguous sets of excursion samples in order to optimize peak-reduction performance. The filter system filters the excursion signal to remove unwanted frequency components from the excursion signal. The filtered excursion signal may then be subtracted from a delayed version of the original signal to reduce the peak. The signal processing system may also control power consumption by adjusting the threshold. The signal processing system may additionally adjust the scale of the excursion signal and / or individual channel signals, such as to meet constraints on channel noise and output spectrum, or to optimize peak reduction. The magnitude threshold, excursion signal and / or individual channel signals may also be adaptively adjusted based on, for example, a channel signal quality such as a noise level specification.

The basic concept is that before a resource is accessed, the entity that has the burden of gathering the credentials, pro-actively refreshes the credentials and keeps them current. In one instance, a presenter of credentials, for example, a client, pro-actively refreshes the credentials such that at the time of presentation, the credentials meet the resource-specific constraints of a recipient of credentials, for example, a resource server. For each resource that it protects, a resource server typically establishes various constraints such as a recency requirement, which specifies how recently a credential has to have been issued to be accepted as an adequate credential. Other constraints may include maximum certificate chain length, trust level and so forth. In another instance, a recipient of credentials pro-actively gathers and refreshes credentials to prevent un-authorized access to the various resources it is protecting.

System-on-chip (SoC) designs include large amounts of interconnected intellectual property blocks and standard-cell logic using complex bus fabrics. Today SoC design-closure that validates design targets of area, timing, congestion and power constraints is accomplished post routing as over 80% of validation problems are due to global-interconnect. A method is disclosed that allows the designers to achieve global design-closure and physical topology constraints, early in the design cycle, at much higher levels of abstraction. In particular, logic hierarchy of the design is converted into a physical hierarchy of functional-related clusters of locally-connected logic. The clusters and inter-cluster global connections can be refined to meet design constraints in order to generate a top-level floor-plan in the form of library and constraint files. Using the results of this top-down global design-closure method the designers can use the generated floor-plan to guide downstream tools to achieve predictable and correlatable design implementation.

The invention relates to a method and system for the design and implementation of state machine engines. A first constraints checking step checks a state transition function created by a designer against constraints imposed by the implementation technology in order to detect all portions of the state transition function that are in conflict with the constraints. A subsequent conflict resolution step tries to determine one or more suggested ways to meet the conflicting constraints, by investigating how the original state transition function can be modified such that all constraints are met. A final presentation and selection step provides the designer textual and / or graphically results of the constraints check and suggested modifications. The modifications can be accepted interactively, or the state transition function can be changed manually. In the latter case, the modified state transition function will be processed starting again with the constraints checking step.
