A method and system for synchronous page addressing in a data packet switch is provided. Within the packet switch, separate devices are responsible for storing a portion of a received data packet, and thus a view of used memory addresses seen by one device matches that seen by the others. Each device uses the same order of memory addresses to write data so that bytes of data are stored as a linked-list of pages. Maintaining the same sequence of page requests and sequence of free-page addresses to which to write these pages ensures consistent addressing of the portions of the data packet.

A system and method for buffering data packets in a data network device having a DRAM buffer are presented. When writing packets, the buffering system separates available memory channels into two groups corresponding to ingress and egress data. Based on the source of the data packets, data pages from the data packets are assigned to channels from either the ingress or egress group. Non-conflicting sets of addresses, called cachelines, are requested on each memory channel, and the data pages are evenly distributed over the assigned channels before being mapped to a cacheline. The number of read transactions currently being monitored by the system is controlled in order to reduce random packet read conflicts. Additionally, write and read transactions are grouped by an arbitration unit prior to being sent to the DRAM controller.

An object oriented test provides a hierarchy of classes under test, each of the classes under test having a predefined inheritance structure. The test provides a test class for each corresponding class under test. Each class under test has a test member function, a set state member function, a verify state member function, and a test vector which includes an initial complete state, an expected complete state, a set of function inputs for a member function being tested, and a set of expected results. The test sets an initial complete state of the test class by implicitly calling the set state member functions through the inheritance structure of the test classes. Next a member function of a desired class under test is executed. The final complete state of the class under test as well as the outputs and returned values of all member functions which were executed are compared with the set of expected results.

A static random access memory (“SRAM”) comprising: a pair of inverters each having an input and an output; a cross-coupling path coupling the input of a first inverter to the output of a second inverter; and a transmission gate, wherein the transmission gate comprises a p-channel transistor coupling the input of the second inverter to the output of the first inverter; and an n-channel transistor coupling the input of the second inverter to the output of the first inverter in parallel with the p-channel transistor. In another embodiment, the SRAM comprises a first inverter having a supply voltage node connected to a supply voltage, and a ground node connected to ground; a second inverter cross-coupled with the first inverter and having a supply voltage node connected to a supply voltage, and a ground node; and a switch selectively connecting and disconnecting the ground node of the second inverter to ground.

A system for streaming incoming data packets into a buffer memory is presented. The system may receive incoming data packets over a variety of interfaces and separate the data packet into a header page and one or more data page. The system may interface with a header processor and send header pages to the header processor to be modified. Data pages from the incoming data packets are streamed to a central staging memory, allowing the use of a simple first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer. The system may receive modified headers from the header processor and provide multiple copies of data packets for multicast or sampling purposes. Data packet copies may then be written to an external memory buffer over one or more external memory channels. The system may also provide an error recovery process to account for corrupt data packets streamed to the external memory buffer.

A hierarchical design transaction method which provides a shared project workspace and an individual user workspace. A desired portion of a hierarchical design is checked out from the shared project workspace and is edited in the individual user workspace. A new version of the desired portion of the hierarchical design is checked into the shared project workspace. Concurrently, another individual user workspace is provided, and another desired portion of the hierarchical design is checked out, edited and checked in. These steps are repeated for each of a plurality of desired portions of the hierarchical design, to continuously guarantee consistency between the shared project workspace and each individual user workspace.
