20130218629 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATING CUSTOMER-VALIDATED STATEMENT OF WORK FOR A DATA STORAGE ENVIRONMENT - Computer systems and methods are disclosed for improving professional services delivery, such as services in a data management environment. In certain examples, computer systems comprise portals for transmitting and receiving information from parties involved in the performance and receipt of professional services. For instance, a first portal can receive data (e.g., from sales personnel) descriptive of a customer's product environment. A manager module populates a record with the data, and a second portal provides the customer with access to the record for review, correction and/or validation prior to the generation of a Statement of Work or other like project description. The second portal can also request additional information from the customer regarding the product environment. The manager module compares the data received through the first portal with the customer-entered information to identify and/or address discrepancies between the sets of data and customize the generation of the Statement of Work. | 08-22-2013 |

20120331244 | CONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT ARRAY - A method and system are provided for configurable computation and data processing. A logical processor includes an array of logic elements. The processor may be a combinatorial circuit that can be applied to modify computational aspects of an array of reconfigurable circuits. A memory stores a plurality of instructions, each instruction including an instruction-fetch data portion and an output data transfer data portion. One or more memory controllers are coupled to the memory and receive instructions and/or output data from the memory. A back buffer is coupled with the memory controller and receives instructions from the memory controller. The back buffer sequentially asserts each received instruction upon one or more memory controllers. The memory controllers transfer data received from the memory to a target, such as an array of reconfigurable logic circuits that are optionally coupled to the memory, the back buffer, and one or more additional memory controllers. | 12-27-2012 |
