20110004729 | Block Caching for Cache-Coherent Distributed Shared Memory - Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to the caching of blocks of lines of memory in a cache-coherent, distributed shared memory system. Block caches used in conjunction with line caches can be used to store more data with less tag memory space compared to the use of line caches alone and can therefore reduce memory requirements. In one particular embodiment, the present invention manages this caching using a DSM-management chip, after the allocation of the blocks by software, such as a hypervisor. An example embodiment provides processing relating to block caches in cache-coherent distributed shared memory. | 01-06-2011 |
20110004732 | DMA in Distributed Shared Memory System - An example embodiment of the present invention provides processes relating to direct memory access (DMA) for nodes in a distributed shared memory system with virtual storage. The processes in the embodiment relate to DMA read, write, and push operations. In the processes, an initiator node in the system sends a message to the home node where the data for the operation will reside or presently resides, so that the home node can directly receive data from or send data to the target server, which might be a virtual I/O server. The processes employ a distributed shared memory logic circuit that is a component of each node and a connection/communication protocol for sending and receiving packets over a scalable interconnect such as InfiniBand. In the example embodiment, the processes also employ a DMA control block which points to a scatter/gather list and which control block resides in shared memory. | 01-06-2011 |
20110004733 | Node Identification for Distributed Shared Memory System - An example embodiment of the present invention provides processes relating to a connection/communication protocol and a memory-addressing scheme for a distributed shared memory system. In the example embodiment, a logical node identifier comprises bits in the physical memory addresses used by the distributed shared memory system. Processes in the embodiment include logical node identifiers in packets which conform to the protocol and which are stored in a connection control block in local memory. By matching the logical node identifiers in a packet against the logical node identifiers in the connection control block, the processes ensure reliable delivery of packet data. Further, in the example embodiment, the. logical node identifiers are used to create a virtual server consisting of multiple nodes in. the distributed shared memory system. | 01-06-2011 |

20120215551 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING UNSPECIFIED DIAGNOSES IN CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION - A set of one or more clinical facts may be collected from a clinician's encounter with a patient. It may be determined that an unspecified diagnosis not included in the set of facts may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. A user may be alerted that the unspecified diagnosis may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215558 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING SPECIFICITY IN CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION - A set of one or more clinical facts may be collected from a clinician's encounter with a patient. From the set of facts, it may be determined that an additional fact that provides additional specificity to the set of facts may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. A user may be alerted that the additional fact may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215559 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR LINKING EXTRACTED CLINICAL FACTS TO TEXT - A plurality of clinical facts may be extracted from a free-form narration of a patient encounter provided by a clinician. The plurality of clinical facts may include a first fact and a second fact. The first fact may be extracted from a first portion of the free-form narration, and the second fact may be extracted from a second portion of the free-form narration. A first indicator that indicates a first linkage between the first fact and the first portion of the free-form narration may be provided to a user. A second indicator, different from the first indicator, that indicates a second linkage between the second fact and the second portion of the free-form narration may also be provided to the user. | 08-23-2012 |
20140288974 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING SPECIFICITY IN CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION - A set of one or more clinical facts may be collected from a clinician's encounter with a patient. From the set of facts, it may be determined that an additional fact that provides additional specificity to the set of facts may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. A user may be alerted that the additional fact may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. | 09-25-2014 |
