| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5644695 | Array combinatorial decoding with multiple error and erasure detection and location using cyclic equivalence testing An apparatus and method for detecting and locating up to two symbols in error or erasures in an n×m A(n,m,t) parity coded bit array previously recorded on a multi-track storage device where n is a prime number, mࣘn, wherein at least one non-zero syndro... | 07/01/1997 |
| 5608890 | Data set level cache optimization A method and means for dynamically managing access by data sets to an LRU disciplined DASD cache staging data sets. A threshold utilizes the inverse of slowly varying global hit ratios (ST) taken over a large number of data sets to control the access by i... | 03/04/1997 |
| 5499354 | Method and means for dynamic cache management by variable space and time binding and rebinding of cache extents to DASD cylinders Dynamic allocation of read cache space is allocated among bands of DASD cylinders rather than to data sets or processes as a function of a weighted average hit ratio to the counterpart cache space. Upon the hit ratio falling below a predetermined threshol... | 03/12/1996 |
| 5490269 | Radix sorting method and means for minimizing movement of elements having common prefixes A computer implemented method for speeding up the recursive most significant digit radix sorting of a set of record keys in which the keys are scanned for a shared or common prefix, coded according to the point in the key where they differ and the value o... | 02/06/1996 |
| 5455946 | Method and means for archiving modifiable pages in a log based transaction management system A method and means for achieving files of modifiable pages in a log based phased commit transaction management system (TMS) in which those pages which have been modified since the last full or incremental backup donot require during the copy operation any... | 10/03/1995 |
| 5434992 | Method and means for dynamically partitioning cache into a global and data type subcache hierarchy from a real time reference trace A method and means is disclosed for dynamically partitioning an LRU cache partitioned into a global cache storing referenced objects of k different data types and k local caches storing objects of a single type. Referenced objects are stored in the MRU po... | 07/18/1995 |
| 5430744 | Method and means for detecting partial response waveforms using a modified dynamic programming heuristic A Viterbi decoder having a recursive processor modified to process each node in a trellis of a partial response coded signal to shift the branch metric additions over the node to effectuate compare, select, add operation order on the predecessor survivor ... | 07/04/1995 |
| 5422995 | Method and means for fast writing of run length coded bit strings into bit mapped memory and the like A method and means which upon detecting indicia embedded in a decoded run length coded bit string skips over a range of bit memory mapped addresses thus reducing the number of write operations into a counterpart bit mapped memory. The coded indicia includ... | 06/06/1995 |
