Shadow register file for instruction rollback
Timothy B. Brodnax,John S. Bialas,Steven A. King,Johnny James LeBlanc,Dale A. Rickard,Clark J. Spencer,Daniel L. Stanley +6 more
- 30 Aug 1993
TL;DR: In this article, the shadow register files provide a signal cycle unloading of the shadow array into the primary array during rollback of execution steps for a checkpoint retry, and LSSD latches are used in the shadows register file.

Method and Apparatus for Policy-Based Transfer of an Application Environment
James D. Allen,Steven A. King +1 more
- 15 Jun 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method, apparatus, and computer program product for transferring an application environment between a plurality of computing devices by retrieving a set of transfer policies in response to detecting a presence of a second computing device in the plurality of computers.

Data processing system having prediction by using an embedded guess bit of remapped and compressed opcodes
Timothy B. Brodnax,Bryan K. Bullis,Steven A. King,Peter M. Kogge,Dale A. Rickard +4 more
- 30 Oct 1992
TL;DR: In this paper, a branch prediction RAM interfaces with branch logic means which tracks whether a branch is in progress and if a branch was guessed, and then compresses the branch instruction into a new operation code and embeds a guess bit into the new operational code.

Nonvolatile memory management in a data processing network
James D. Allen,Steven A. King +1 more
- 21 Jun 1991
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system and method for managing the nonvolatile memory capacity of individual workstations within a data processing network having a multiplicity of workstation with resident NVR devices, and a refinement of the invention contemplates the reallocation of disk capacity within the network to avoid premature termination of programs executing on a workstation upon the finding of a sub-threshold capacity in the workstation.

Partitioning of virtual addressing memory
Timothy B. Brodnax,Bryan K. Bullis,Steven A. King,Dale A. Rickard +3 more
- 18 Apr 1994
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a virtual addressing memory partitioning scheme for the virtual address memory, which minimizes the delay between the translation logic and the page translation RAMs by sharing of the memory address bus control between two address processors.
