  • Escribiendo En Linux Discos CD-RW Con El Sistema De Ficheros UDF
    Escribiendo en Linux discos CD-RW con el sistema de ficheros UDF Introducción Obteniendo el parche y aplicándolo al kernel Creando el archivo de dispositivo 'Packet Driver' Obteniendo y descomprimiendo el paquete udftools Usando las herramientas Integración y automatización Despedida Introducción Ante todo, indicar que el que escribe la presente receta no pretende originalidad alguna. Sólo proporcionar un documento en castellano que muestre cómo se ha conseguido por alguien que no es un informático ni un gurú, por supuesto. Todo está basado en un documento de Richard Downing <[email protected]>, creado para Linux From Scratch. El formato de disco universal (UDF) es un sistema de archivos estándar que permite que se utilice la grabadora de CD como un dispositivo lógico en un ordenador. Con UDF podremos leer y escribir archivos en un CD con la grabadora con la misma facilidad con que lo hacemos en un diskete o en un disco duro. La tecnología que se usa es la denominada escritura de paquetes (packet printing), siendo usada para manejar cdrw y dvd-ram, entre otros. Pueden consultarse las siguientes páginas si se quiere saber más sobre el estándar UDF: http://www.osta.org y http://www.ecma.org Los que éramos usuarios de MS-Windows® teníamos a nuestra disposición, desde hace bastantes años programas para leer y escribir en los discos cd-rw usando el sistema de ficheros UDF. A título de ejemplo, el Adaptec DirectCD ®, el Nero InCD ® o el hp DLA ®. El método es simple: una vez formateado un disco CD-R o CD-RW con el programa en cuestión, se puede usar el explorador o cualquier otro programa que pueda leer y escribir en una letra de unidad.

  • Timing Circuit Design in High Performance DRAM
    Chapter 11 Timing Circuit Design in High Performance DRAM Feng (Dan) Lin Abstract The need for high performance dynamic random access memory (DRAM) becomes a pressing concern with processor speeds racing into the multi-gigahertz range. For a high performance computing system, such as high-end graphics cards or game consoles, memory bandwidth is one of the key limitations. One way to address this ever increasing bandwidth requirement is by increasing the data transfer rate. As the I/O speed jumps up, precise timing control becomes critical and challenge with variations and limitations in nano-scaled DRAM processes. In this chapter, we will explore two most important timing circuits used in high performance DRAM: clock distribution network (CDN) and clock synchronization circuits (CSC). Keywords Memory interface • DRAM • Memory bandwidth • Clock distribu- tion network (CDN) • Clock synchronization circuit (CSC) • Source-synchronous • Analog phase generator (APG) • De-skewing • Duty-cycle correction (DCC) Delay-locked loop (DLL) • 3D integration 11.1 Introduction 11.1.1 Memory Interface A typical memory system, shown in Fig. 11.1, generally includes a memory control- ler, DRAM devices and memory channels between them. As part of the DRAM device, memory interface serves as a gateway between the external world and internal periphery logics (i.e. array interface and command and address logic). The state-of-art memory interface may include data transceivers, SERDES (serializer/deserializer), F. Lin (*) Senior Member of Technical Staff, Micron Technology, Inc. e-mail: [email protected] K.
