    • An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for adapter card failover. A switch module connects a first processor complex to an adapter card through a first port as an owner processor complex. The owner processor complex manages the adapter card except for a second port and receives error messages from the adapter card. The switch module further connects a second processor complex to the adapter card through the second port as a non-owner processor complex. The non-owner processor complex manages the second port. A detection module detects a failure of the first processor complex. A setup module modifies the switch module to logically connect the second processor complex to the adapter card as the owner processor complex and to logically disconnect the first processor complex from the adapter card in response to detecting the failure.

    • An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for distinguishing correctable bit errors in memory. A bit error detection module detects a correctable bit error in memory. The correctable bit error is correctable using error-correcting code (“ECC”). A comparison module compares an error location indicator with a stored error location indicator. The error location indicator is a location of the correctable bit error. The stored error location indicator includes to at least one previously stored error location indicator of a previously detected correctable bit error. A storage module stores the error location indicator in response to the comparison module determining that the error location indicator differs from a stored error location indicator. A bit error counter module increases a random bit error counter if the comparison module determines that the error location indicator differs from a stored error location indicator and does not increase the random bit error counter otherwise.

    • An apparatus and method for distinguishing correctable bit errors in memory. A bit error detection module detects a correctable bit error in a memory in response to a READ operation. The correctable bit error is correctable using error-correcting code. The READ operation is generated during normal operation. A comparison module compares an error location indicator with a stored error location indicator. The error location indicator includes a memory location of the correctable bit error. The stored error location indicator corresponds to a previously stored error location indicator of a previous correctable bit error. A storage module stores the error location indicator if the comparison module determines that the error location indicator differs from a stored error location indicator. An error counter module increases an error counter corresponding to the error location indicator if the comparison module determines that the error location indicator matches a stored error location indicator.

    • A diagnostic tracing logger is presented for use in a multithread environment in which diagnostic trace log entries are captured and recorded. The trace logs are composed of sequences of memory addresses used to access instructions and operands, instruction op-codes and register specifiers, sequences of memory addresses, branch instructions or exceptions, the contents of registers or semiconductor memory locations, and the like. In one embodiment, a software module configures a plurality of buffers to capture bus traces, each trace triggered by a specific pattern. A buffer controller manages transfer of diagnostic trace information from the plurality of buffers to a diagnostic log without using processor memory cycles. The trace information is transferred to a selected buffer using a processor cache flush instruction. Diagnostic trace logging facilitates diagnosis of complex system and software interactions without the cost and overhead of prior art trace logging techniques.

    • A shared bus hang prevention and recovery scheme for a data communication system is provided, where a shared bus is connected to a plurality of bus masters and corresponding slaves and located between an external bus connected to a system processor, and an internal bus connected to an internal processor. Some of the masters are associated with the external bus and others are associated with the internal bus, and one of the bus masters is a control master associated with the internal processor. The scheme utilizes a shared bus hang prevention and recovery device having a circuitry and a control code. The circuitry is timing each pending request of the control master for the shared bus and initiating bus recovery if the shared bus is hung up, when the control master exceeded a pre-determined time period allowed for waiting to acquire the shared bus control and complete the transfer on the shared bus. The control code is used for monitoring and controlling the circuitry and terminating the transfer in progress causing the shared bus hang-up. During the bus recovery the circuitry prevents bus request grants to the master attached to the external bus until the master subsequent reset, and the control program instructions initiates transfers for all pending requests for the shared bus from the control master queue. Each transfer is being timed and terminated if the shared bus is hung up again. Upon the control master queue clearing, the internal processor executes the control program instructions to reset and reinitialize all masters and slaves on the shared bus.
