The present disclosure relates to a memory architecture comprising a plurality of subarrays of memory cells, a plurality of sense amplifiers connected to the subarrays, a plurality of original pads, at least one redundant pad, multiple data lines, and a redundant register connected to the plurality of original pads, to the plurality of redundant pads and to the data lines. The redundant register implementing an interconnection redundancy and connecting one of the redundant pads to the data lines when an addressed original pad is found defective. The disclosure also relates to a System-on-Chip (SoC) component comprising a memory architecture, and an interconnection redundancy managing block included into the memory architecture. A related memory component and related methods for managing interconnection redundancy of the memory architecture and/or the SoC are also disclosed.
Single chip multi-die architecture having safety-compliant cross-monitoring capability
Methods, systems and apparatuses may provide for technology that includes a chip having a first die including a first processing logic to execute a first application instance and generate a first output of the first application instance, and a second processing logic to execute a second application instance and generate a second output of the second application instance. The chip may also include a second die coupled to the first die, wherein the second die includes a safety monitor detect a condition associated with one or more of an error in the first output, an error in the second output, or a discrepancy between the first output and the second output. The safety monitor may also initiate a transition of the chip into a safe state in response to the condition.
Method and system for tracing error of logic system design
A method for tracing an error of a logic system design includes obtaining an assertion failure of a combinational cone of the logic system design, the combinational cone including a plurality of sub-cones; and obtaining machine learning models of the sub-cones. Each sub-cone represents a sub-circuitry of the logic system design and has one or more input signals and an output signal. The assertion failure indicates an actual signal value of the combinational cone at a current clock cycle being different from an expected output value at the current clock cycle. The method also includes: performing backtracing on the sub-cones according to the assertion failure, the machine learning models of the sub-cones, and dynamic backtracing sensitivities corresponding to the sub-cones, to obtain a backtracing result; and outputting one or more target sub-cones as candidate root causes of the assertion failure according to the backtracing result.
Secured and out-of-band (OOB) server san solution on a commodity storage box
A computer system includes a BMC and a host of the BMC. The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on an existing out-of-band management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service running on the host, the host being a storage device. The storage service provides access to user data stored on one or more storage devices connected to the host via a storage network that is isolated from the management network. When the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service: the BMC extracts a service command from the first message; the BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel to the host, a second message containing the service command to the host. The BMC communication channel has been established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host.
System and method for synchronizing communications between a plurality of processors
A system, method and computer program product synchronize a plurality of processes of one or more applications executed by a plurality of processors. In addition to the processors, the system includes a plurality of memories with each memory associated with a respective process and configured to maintain a local count representative of a message of the respective process with which the memory is associated and at least one remote count representative of a message of a corresponding process executed by another processor. The system also includes a reflector configured to reflect the local count of the respective process to a remote count of the corresponding process. For synchronization, a first process of a first application executed by a first processor is configured to enter a delay period if the local count and at least one remote count maintained by the memory associated with the first process fail to match.
