Abstract: In a SIMD architecture having a two-dimensional array of processing elements (10), where a controller broadcasts instructions to all processing elements (10) in the array, a dynamically reconfigurable switching means (14) useful to connect four of the processing elements (10) in the array into a group in accordance with either the broadcast instruction of the controller or a special communication instruction held in one processing element (10) of the group is provided. The switch (14) includes at least one data line (54) connected to each processing element (10) in the group. A multiplexer is connected to each data line (54) and to the controller and to a configuration register. It is adapted to load the special communication instruction from the one processing element (10) in the group into a configuration register and to operate in accord with either the broadcast instruction from the controller or the contents of the configuration register to select one of the four data lines (54) as a source of data and applying the data therefrom to a source output port. A demultiplexer is connected to each data line (54) and to the controller and to said configuration register, and to the source output port of the multiplexer means, and adapted to operate in accord with either the broadcast instruction from the controller or the contents of the configuration register to select one of the four data lines (54) as a source of data and applying the data therefrom to a selected data line (54). The switch (14) also acts to connect processing elements (10) that cross chip partitions forming the processor array. Up to four such switches (14) can be used to connect a group of four processing elements (10).

Abstract: 1.2. Various methods and devices of this type are known, for example those which generate only shift-recommendation signals or those which, when predeterminable threshold values are exceeded during driving, emit a warning signal when an unfavourable driving mode lasts too long and which record the number of warning signals given. 2.2. In the new method, a first evaluation number relating to the traction mode of the motor vehicle is formed, a second evaluation number relating to the driving mode free of engine load is formed, a third evaluation number relating to the deceleration mode of the motor vehicle is formed and, by weighted averaging from the three individual evaluation numbers, a total evaluation number is formed. This allows the differentiated objective evaluation of the driver-influenceable driving behaviour. 2.3. The invention is used, for example, in commercial vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A signal despreader (205) for use in a CDMA system processes samples of the received signal with filtered replicas of the code coefficient sequences associated with the system users. The symbols transmitted by each system user (received on 203,204) are recovered using a filtered replica (from 307,308) of that user's associated code coefficient sequence. In the disclosed embodiment, the communications channel between each system user's transmitter and the base station is bandlimited. Accordingly, within each user's transmitter, filtering apparatus having a frequency characteristic is utilized to limit the frequency spectrum of each coded signal to a predetermined bandwidth equal to or less than that of the communications channel. Each filtered replica, pursuant to the present invention, reflects this frequency characteristic. In addition, the communications channel also has a frequency characteristic, and each filtered replica can reflect this characteristic as well.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a host computer (10) and a hierarchical data storage system (11) connected to the host computer. The hierarchical data storage system comprises a magnetic disk store (13) and an optical disk store (14) having a greater capacity and lower performance than the magnetic disk store. A storage controller (15) manages access to data in the stores, operating the magnetic disk store as a set-associative cache store for caching data from said optical disk store. A disk store interface (23) (e.g. SCSI) connects the storage controller means to the host computer. Thus, the hierarchical data storage system presents a standard disk interface to the host, and can therefore be accessed by a standard operating system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast and reliable fencing of resources such as shared disks on a networked system. For each new configuration of nodes and resources on the system, a membership program module generates a new membership list and, based upon that, a new epoch number uniquely identifying the membership correlated with the time that it exists. A control key based upon the epoch number is generated, and is stored at each resource controller and node on the system. If a node is identified as failed, it is removed from the membership list, and a new epoch number and control key are generated. When a node sends an access request to a resource, the resource controller compares its locally stored control key with the control key stored at the node (which is transmitted with the access request). The access request is executed only if the two keys match. The membership list is revised based upon a node's determination (by some predetermined criterion or criteria, such as slow response time) of the failure of a resource, and is carried out independently of any action (either hardware or software) of the failed resource.
