Bus Trace Analysis A Posteriori

View page
US Patent:
6883117, Apr 19, 2005
Filed:
Nov 15, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/998387
Inventors:
Mike Conrad Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F011/00
US Classification:
714 37, 714 39
Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and data processing system for analyzing trace data containing bus transactions taking place in packets of varying length is disclosed. A dump of raw trace data from a logic analyzer is stored in a computer file. A computer program then analyzes the raw trace data to identify the locations of packets within the raw trace data. A packet type is determined for each packet, and data fields are extracted from the packet, according to the packet type. A summary of each packet containing the data fields and their contents is then presented to a user.

Method For Non-Invasive Performance Monitoring And Tuning

View page
US Patent:
7136778, Nov 14, 2006
Filed:
Sep 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/932700
Inventors:
Mike Conrad Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Mark David McLaughlin - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702182, 702186, 714724, 714727, 714 30, 714 47
Abstract:
A non-invasive method, system, and computer product for monitoring I/O performance without using the RIO bus. When executing a performance benchmark run in a remote I/O drawer, the system logs into a bulk power controller, wherein the bulk power controller provides a communications path between the data processing system and the I/O drawer, and wherein the communications path allows the data processing system to access chip register information on the I/O drawer without using a RIO link. Using the communications path, the system may monitor I/O performance and obtain chip register information. The system may further increase performance by using software to detect a load imbalance. Through the communications path, the software is able to dynamically balance the load by changing the chip register settings to allow the initialization registers to handle the load more efficiently.

Method To Use An Alternate I/O Debug Path

View page
US Patent:
7290180, Oct 30, 2007
Filed:
Sep 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/932704
Inventors:
Mike Conrad Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Mark David McLaughlin - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 43
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer product for aiding in the debugging of an I/O failure. When an I/O failure is detected on a RIO drawer, a data processing system uses the bulk power controller to provide an alternate path, rather than using the existing RIO links, to access registers on the I/O drawers. The system logs onto the bulk power controller, which provides a communications path between the data processing system and the RIO drawer. The communications path allows the data processing system to read the chip registers on the I/O drawer. The data processing system captures I/O failure information in the I/O drawer using the communications path, wherein the I/O failure information is used to debug the I/O failure.

Method For Self-Diagnosing Remote I/O Enclosures With Enhanced Fru Callouts

View page
US Patent:
7454657, Nov 18, 2008
Filed:
Sep 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/932706
Inventors:
Mike Conrad Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Mark David McLaughlin - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 30, 714 43, 714 44
Abstract:
A method for self-diagnosing remote I/O enclosures with enhanced FRU callouts. When a failure is detected on a RIO drawer, a data processing system uses the bulk power controller to provide an alternate path, rather than using the existing RIO links, to access registers on the I/O drawers. The system logs onto the bulk power controller, which provides a communications path between the data processing system and the RIO drawer. The communications path allows the data processing system to read all of the registers on the I/O drawer. The register information in the I/O drawer is then analyzed to diagnose the I/O failure. Based on the register information, the data processing system identifies a field replacement unit to repair the I/O failure.

Method To Enhance Boot Time Using Redundant Service Processors

View page
US Patent:
7526639, Apr 28, 2009
Filed:
Feb 13, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/352696
Inventors:
Mike Conrad Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Mark David McLaughlin - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/00
G06F 11/00
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
713 1, 714100, 714 10, 714 13
Abstract:
A computer implemented method and system for enhancing boot time of a computer system. Initial program load firmware is initialized on a plurality of service processors. The plurality of service processors performs independent non-redundant initialization tasks concurrently as other independent non-redundant initialization tasks are performed by another service processor. Once the initialization tasks are completed, control is switched to a primary service processor within the plurality of service processors and runtime firmware is loaded by the primary service processor.

Capacity Upgrade On-Demand For I/O Adapters

View page
US Patent:
7571307, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:
Jul 26, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/459946
Inventors:
Mike C. Duron - Pflugerville TX, US
Mark D. McLaughlin - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/00
G06F 15/177
G06F 1/24
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
713 1, 713 2, 713100, 710 10, 710 18
Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided for performing capacity upgrade on-demand operations for input/output(I/O) adapters of a data processing device. The mechanisms involve providing a data processing device with additional I/O adapters in excess of current I/O capacity requirements of an owner/user of the data processing device. These additional I/O adapters remain in an inactive state after booting of the data processing device until they are specifically activated by the owner/user. Although inactive, memory resources are reserved for the address translation data structures for these inactive I/O adapters. The owner/user may, at a later time, obtain an activation code from a provider of the data processing device and enter the activation code into a hardware management console to thereby activate the additional I/O adapters. The reserved memory resources are then utilized to initialize the address translation data structures for these now active I/O adapters.
