摘要:
Data is sent to correspond to a load/store-type operation associated with shared memory over a link according to a memory access link protocol and the memory access link protocol is to be overlaid on another, different link protocol. A request is sent to enter a low power state, where the request is to include a data value encoded in a field of a token, the token is to indicate a start of packet data and is to further indicate whether subsequent data to be sent after the token is to include data according to one of the other link protocol and the memory access link protocol.

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a counter to count between a start value and an end value according to a local clock signal, a first register to store an output of the counter, a mirror elastic buffer to store samples of the counter output received from the first register, where the mirror elastic buffer is to mirror an elastic buffer of a receiver circuit, and a resolution logic to receive a counter output sample from the mirror elastic buffer and a current counter value output from the counter, and to determine a transit latency for a data element to traverse the receiver circuit based at least in part on the counter output sample and the current counter value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Physical layer logic is provided that is to receive data on one or more data lanes of a physical link, receive a valid signal on another of the lanes of the physical link identifying that valid data is to follow assertion of the valid signal on the one or more data lanes, and receive a stream signal on another of the lanes of the physical link identifying a type of the data on the one or more data lanes.

In one embodiment, a converged protocol stack can be used to unify communications from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol to provide for data transfer across a physical interconnect. This stack can be incorporated in an apparatus that includes a protocol stack for a first communication protocol including transaction and link layers, and a physical (PHY) unit coupled to the protocol stack to provide communication between the apparatus and a device coupled to the apparatus via a physical link. This PHY unit may include a physical unit circuit according to the second communication protocol. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
