| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6449698 | Method and system for bypass prefetch data path A method and system for bypassing a prefetch data path is provided. Each transaction within a system is tagged, and as transactions are issued for retrieving data, the system has a data prefetch unit for prefetching data from a processor, a memory subsyst... | 09/10/2002 |
| 6353369 | Multiphase voltage controlled oscillator with variable gain and range A voltage controlled oscillator is provided comprising a plurality of delay elements serially connected to form a ring and each element within the plurality of elements includes an input and output. The voltage controlled oscillator also includes a set of... | 03/05/2002 |
| 6347393 | Method and apparatus for performing buffer insertion with accurate gate and interconnect delay computation An optimal buffer is chosen for insertion at a node by calculating a π-model of a downstream circuit to a child node where the π-model contains at least a capacitance value. The gate delay is computed at the node using an effective capacitance derived f... | 02/12/2002 |
| 6317811 | Method and system for reissuing load requests in a multi-stream prefetch design A method and system for reissuing load requests in a multi-stream prefetch engine of a data processing system is provided.
