Appl. No.:

11/172564

Inventors:

David Eagle - Cary NC, US
David M. Glinski - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 7, 705 8, 705500, 700 92, 700 97

Abstract:

A scientific complexity quantification system calculates a specific percent complexity index rating for each manufactured product that can be graphed and compared to other products and that is based on mathematical quantifications of each product's key attributes. The complexity index takes into consideration differences in design and manufacturing complexity, financial considerations, product solution complexity and customer experience. The attribute scoring of individual products are then sorted into potential sourcing categories, such as “outsource,” “in house fulfillment,” or “further evaluation needed. ”.

International Classification:

G06F 13/40

US Classification:

710104

Abstract:

A method is provided for cabling a plurality of hardware components. A chassis controller establishes a wireless connection to a wireless device. The chassis controller, via a wireless interface, transmits a chassis map to the wireless device over the wireless connection. The chassis controller, via the wireless interface, transmits to the wireless device, an indication of a first port to be cabled over the wireless connection, the first port. The first port is of a first hardware component of the plurality of hardware components. The chassis controller tests the first port to determine whether cabling of the first port has been performed correctly.

Appl. No.:

14/459958

Inventors:

- Sunnyvale CA, US
Lisa R. Hsu - Durham NC, US
James M. O'Connor - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A system and method are disclosed for managing memory interleaving patterns in a system with multiple memory devices. The system includes a processor configured to access multiple memory devices. The method includes receiving a first plurality of data blocks, and then storing the first plurality of data blocks using an interleaving pattern in which successive blocks of the first plurality of data blocks are stored in each of the memory devices. The method also includes receiving a second plurality of data blocks, and then storing successive blocks of the second plurality of data blocks in a first memory device of the multiple memory devices.
