A semiconductor structure and a method for managing semiconductor wafer stress are disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor wafer, a first stress layer disposed on and in contact with a backside of the semiconductor wafer, and a second stress layer on and in contact with the first stress layer. The first stress layer exerts a first stress on the semiconductor wafer and the second layer exerts a second stress on the semiconductor wafer that is opposite the first backside stress. The method includes forming a first stress layer on and in contact with a backside of a semiconductor wafer, and further forming a second stress layer on and in contact with the first stress layer. The first stress layer exerts a first stress on the semiconductor wafer and the second stress layer exerts a second stress on the semiconductor wafer that is opposite to the first stress.

Methods and arrangements for performing synchronized collective operations. Communication calls are accepted from at least two distinct processor groups. Edge disjoint spanning paths are created over a collective comprising the processor groups, and the spanning paths are assigned to the processor groups to facilitate communication within each processor group.

Provided is a system for the distribution of data, comprising a data server comprising a processor, a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the data server, a plurality of proxy servers, each with a plurality of network interfaces, a file of digital content, comprising a plurality of chunks, wherein copies of each chunk are stored on two or more of the proxy servers and the digital server; and logic, stored on the computer-readable storage medium and executed on the processor, for receiving a request for the digital file from a client device, for generating a proxy list for each chunk, comprising information identifying the two or more proxy servers on which the copies of the chunks are stored, and information corresponding to network interfaces associated with the two or more proxy servers on which the copies are stored; and for transmitting the proxy list to the client device to enable the client device to select two or more proxy servers on which the copies are stored and simultaneously download the two or more of the chunks utilizing two or more proxy servers and two or more network interfaces.

Content delivery using multiple sources over heterogeneous interfaces

A method, system, and computer readable storage device (that stores the method) extract connectivity information from multiple telecommunication services, provided by a single multiple service provider. The method, system, and device merge the separate connectivity information from each service in a unified graph of telephone service users and digital service users (including common users of both services). The method, system, and device assigne trust values based on the connectivity information and shared data content between users. The method, system, and device may also issue a proxy certificate of authority (CA), by a trusted CA residing within the digital service, to provide digital service to a user of the telephone service in the unified graph, when the trusted CA is a nearest trusted CA in the unified graph.

Trusted content access management using multiple social graphs across heterogeneous networks

Intermediate code is executable on a virtual machine. Hence, source code that is compiled on a first computing device can be distributed to a second computing device in an intermediate form as long as the second computing device has the appropriate virtual machine. In this way, the compilation can be done without regard to the underlying native processor on the second computing device. However, the intermediate code loses the original type information defined in the source code. By determining the variable types in the intermediate code, the intermediate code can be converted to a different intermediate language.

Exemplary devices and/or methods optionally compile a programming language code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework; and/or convert a code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework. The aforementioned devices and/or methods optionally include, but are not limited to, features for supporting framework differences in object hierarchy, exceptions, type characteristics, reflection transparency, and/or scoping, and features for supporting differences in class loading.

Lazy loading with code conversion

To enhance portability of programming languages and compiled codes, methods and/or devices optionally compile a programming language code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework and/or convert a code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework. The aforementioned converters and/or methods include, but are not limited to, features for supporting framework differences in object hierarchy, exceptions, type characteristics, reflection transparency, and/or scoping.
