VALIDATION OF DATA WRITTEN VIA TWO DIFFERENT BUS INTERFACES TO A DUAL SERVER BASED STORAGE CONTROLLER

A first server of a storage controller is configured to communicate with a host via a first bus interface, and a second server of the storage controller is configured to communicate with the host via a second bus interface. Data is written from the host via the first bus interface to a cache of the first server and via the second bus interface to a non-volatile storage of the second server. The data stored in the cache of the first server is periodically compared to the data stored in the non-volatile storage of the second server.

The system is capable of providing high integrity data immune to byzantine faults throughout the system. Using one greater High Integrity Computing Elements than the number of faults required allows for implementation of a wide range of redundant systems including dual, triple, quad, and beyond redundancy using voting computers. The system is implemented using any number of standard computing elements, which is greater than two, a communication abstraction, data exchange, mission algorithm, and data comparison producing data immune to byzantine errors to the remaining peripherals in the system.

Programmable integrated circuits with in-operation reconfiguration capability

Integrated circuit packages with multiple integrated circuit dies are provided. A multichip package may include a master die that is coupled to one or more slave dies via inter-die package interconnects. A mixed (i.e., active and passive) interconnect redundancy scheme may be implemented to help repair potentially faulty interconnects to improve assembly yield. Interconnects that carry normal user signals may be repaired using an active redundancy scheme by selectively switching into use a spare driver block when necessary. On the other hand, interconnects that carry power-on-reset signals, initialization signals, and other critical control signals for synchronizing the operation between the master and slave dies may be supported using a passive redundancy scheme by using two or more duplicate wires for each critical signal.
