Latest Patents
One of Tin S Tang's latest patents is a flexible parity generation circuit. This invention involves a redundant array computer system that features a high-speed CPU bus and lower-speed I/O buses. In this system, parity blocks are generated for multiple data blocks from various CPU bus logical channels in a randomly-interleaved manner. This approach provides enhanced I/O transfer rates. The system can process two sets of data through two channels, employing switching means to alternate between the first and second sets. This generates parity information that can be independently transferred over two I/O buses. The technique achieves an effective I/O bus transfer rate that is more closely aligned with the speed of the CPU bus. Additionally, the invention utilizes a single XOR gate and related support circuitry shared among multiple logical channels, which leads to cost-effective implementation. For certain applications, the RAM can be utilized as a large, unified FIFO, allowing the system to generate parity information for very large blocks of data in a single channel.
