Testing Techniques - a unique solution to testing challenges and a new test support mechanism

Disclosed is a method that uses a Multi-Protocol Phones and Crank-Back of information from the network to reduce the inter-working load on a Gateway. Benefits include faster call setup times and reduced loads at the Gateway.

Disclosed is a method for a Pcache, PTLB, and P/D/I unified implementation as an amendment to existing architectures with instruction set architecture (ISA) additions. Benefits include improved functionality, improved performance, and improved reliability.

Disclosed is a method for the horizontal chopping of a large on-chip cache. Benefits include improved functionality and improved ease of design/implementation.

Disclosed is a method that controls the flow of underfill by directing it underneath the die, and also by inhibiting it on the solder resist surface. Benefits include an increased amount of underfill flowing underneath the die, and reduced mechanical stresses between the cured underfill and the die corners.

Disclosed is a method for a heatsink base and an integrated heat spreader (IHS) for combined air and liquid cooling. Benefits include improved functionality and improved ease of implementation.
