Title: Verifying the programming of a cell array
Inventor: KAWABATA SHOZO
IPC: G11C15/00
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a cell array, particularly a CAM cell array formed with non-volatile memory cells in preferred embodiments, which stores the operation setting information as to the semiconductor device, a write circuit and a verification circuit. The write circuit can perform simultaneous programming of memory cells in the cell array. Preferably the programming operation initially reads the data stored in the cells and compares this to the input data to identify cells which are in an erased state that the input data indicates should be programmed and then simultaneously programs only the identified cells. The verification circuit verifies memory cells which were programmed preferably by comparing the values read from those cells with the values expected based upon the input values. The verification circuit may return a pseudo-pass as the result of the verify operation for memory cells which were not programmed based upon a comparison of the input data with the data stored in the cell prior to programming.

Title: Migration of virtual machines with reassignment of hardware memory segments
Inventor: MENCIAS ANGEL NUNEZ
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) is executed 200 on a source virtual machine monitor (VMM, e.g. hypervisor) 110 within a logical partition. The VM is allocated certain segments of hardware memory 201 assigned to the partition for exclusive data storage. When the VM is to be migrated to a destination VMM 120, the operation of the machine is suspended 202, and information relating to the configuration of the VM, including the allocated memory segments, is sent to the new VMM 203. The memory segments are then reassigned to the logical partition containing the destination VMM 206. The VM is then shut down 205 on the source VMM, with extended configuration information including descriptions of the assigned memory segments used to recreate the VM at the destination VMM, and the operation of the VM is then resumed on the new VMM 207. This allows the transfer of the data created by the virtual machine without requiring duplication of content and/or excessive processing time.

Title: Testing the operation of a programmable circuit by measuring voltage at a node
Inventor: SHRIVASTAVA AYASKANT
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2012-11-30
Abstract: A programmable circuit under test (PCUT) 110 is tested for correct operation by measuring the voltage at a node 111 and detecting the voltage difference at the node when the PCUT changes from a first state of operation to a second state of operation. The voltage is detected by a delta probe 121 which senses the voltage difference as the programmable circuit switches between modes of operation. The measurement by the delta probe may be synchronized with the programmability control of the PCUT. The node 111 may be a point in the circuit identified by modeling or empirically as undergoing a voltage change when the PCUT changes state; alternatively it may be a dedicated test node formed in the PCUT. The fact that the voltage changes at the node indicates that the programmable circuit has switches between states. The PCUT may be a variable attenuator that switches between different levels of attenuation.
