When a peripheral device is connected to an information processing apparatus, the peripheral device is contained without protruding from the information processing apparatus, and therefore, the peripheral device and the information processing apparatus are protected. A recess is provided in a side surface of a first housing and a USB port is disposed within the recess, and thus, the USB device connected to the USB port can be prevented from significantly protruding from the first housing. Moreover, in the case of a USB device with a reduced-size main body portion, the main body portion can be contained in the recess without protruding from the first housing. Accordingly, a situation in which a user snags his/her clothing or the like on the USB device can be avoided, and thus, damage to the USB device or a notebook computer can be avoided.

Performing a perform timing facility function instruction for synchronizing tod clocks

Номер: US20120173917A1
Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

A system, method and computer program product for steering a time-of-day (TOD) clock for a computer system having a physical clock providing a time base for executing operations that is stepped to a common oscillator. The method includes receiving, at a processing unit, a request to change a clock steering rate used to control a TOD-clock offset value for the processing unit, the TOD-clock offset defined as a function of a start time (s), a base offset (b), and a steering rate (r). The unit schedules a next episode start time with which to update the TOD-clock offset value. After updating TOD-clock offset value (d) at the scheduled time, TOD-clock offset value is added to a physical-clock value (Tr) value to obtain a logical TOD-clock value (Tb), where the logical TOD-clock value is adjustable without adjusting a stepping rate of the oscillator.
