| 7536693 | Method for load spreading of requests in a distributed data storage system Incoming requests to a data storage system are distributed among one or more peer node computer systems of the data storage system in accordance with a load spreading configuration. A hash value is computed from the request utilizing selected header information of t... | 05/19/2009 |
| 7487546 | Hosts file protection system and method Modification of the hosts file is detected, implementation of the modified hosts file is stalled, the modification to the hosts file is analyzed to determine if the modification is malicious, and if the modification is malicious, the hosts file is restored. In this ... | 02/03/2009 |
| 7487548 | Granular access control method and system A method includes stalling an attempt to reference an object, and determining whether an attempter that originated the attempt is authorized to access the object. A content-based access control list is used to determine if the attempter is authorized access to the o... | 02/03/2009 |
| 7485490 | Method of forming a stacked semiconductor package Disclosed is a stacking structure of semiconductor chips and semiconductor package using it, capable of achieving an electric insulation even if a conductive wire makes contact with a lower surface of an upper semiconductor chip, while reducing a total thickness the... | 02/03/2009 |
| 7487296 | Multi-stride prefetcher with a recurring prefetch table A multi-stride prefetcher includes a recurring prefetch table that in turn includes a stream table and an index table. The stream table includes a valid field and a tag field. The stream table also includes a thread number field to help support multi-threaded proces... | 02/03/2009 |
| 7484017 | Dequeuing from a host adapter two-dimensional queue A two-dimensional command block queue includes a plurality of command blocks in a first linked list. One of the command blocks in a string is included in the first linked list. The string is delimited by only a tail pointer stored in a tail pointer list. Following d... | 01/27/2009 |
| 7484095 | System for communicating program data between a first device and a second device A system for communicating program data between devices includes a first device configured to disassemble a program file comprising program data into at least one logical data unit, partition each logical data unit into at least one protocol data unit and compute a ... | 01/27/2009 |
| 7484239 | Detecting heap and stack execution in the operating system using regions A call to a critical operating system function is stalled. The pregion and pregion type associated with the location of a call module originating the call is determined. In one embodiment, when the pregion type is either a stack or a heap pregion type, protective ac... | 01/27/2009 |
| 7480940 | Structures and methods for a low and slow network reconnaissance detector Packets on a computer network are low pass filtered using a low and slow network reconnaissance detector to generate a spectrum of packets that are anomalous, i.e., are not commonly occurring IP packet traffic on the computer network. The low and slow network reconn... | 01/20/2009 |
| 7480787 | Method and structure for pipelining of SIMD conditional moves A mask is first generated in a general-purpose integer register. The mask is generated by executing a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instruction on a plurality of operands stored in a plurality of registers and by writing the result to the general-purpose i... | 01/20/2009 |
| 7478203 | Technique for eliminating dead stores in a processor A technique for reducing off-chip bandwidth requirements for a processor reads old data from a location in an on-chip store of a processor in preparation of writing new data to the location in the on-chip store. The technique determines whether new data bytes of the... | 01/13/2009 |
| 7478389 | Techniques for implementing security on a small footprint device using a context barrier A small footprint device, such as a smart card, can securely run multiple programs from unrelated vendors by the inclusion of a context barrier isolating the execution of the programs.
