A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for generation of hardware thermal profiles for a set of processors. Sampling is performed of the thermal states of the set of processors during the execution of a set of workloads to create sampled information. The sampled information and thermal characteristics of the set of processors are combined and a thermal index is generated based on the sampled information and characteristics of the set of processors.

The present invention provides data encryption for a differential bus employing transitional coding. The present invention maps, encodes and encrypts input data as a logic status for a given bus transfer cycle. The mapping, encoding and encrypting of the input data changes from bus transfer cycle to bus transfer cycle. The mapping, encoding and encrypting is a function of a pseudo-random number. A logic status is differentially transmitted from a bus transmitter to a bus receiver, to be mapped, decrypted and decoded as the corresponding output data.

A system and method are provided for setting up a direct memory access for a first processor. The system includes the first processor and a local memory. The local memory is coupled to the first processor. A first direct memory access controller (DMAC) is coupled to the first processor and the local memory. A system memory is in communication with the first DMAC. A second processor is in communication with the first DMAC such that the second processor sets up the first DMAC to handle data transfer between the local memory and the system memory. The second processor is interrupted when the first DMAC finishes handling the data transfer.

The present invention renders a triangular mesh for employment in graphical displays. The triangular mesh comprises triangle-shaped graphics primitives. The triangle-shaped graphics primitives represent a subdivided triangular shape. Each triangle-shaped graphics primitive shares defined vertices with adjoining triangle-shaped graphics primitives. These shared vertices are transmitted and employed for the rendering of the triangle-shaped graphics primitives.

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing data mapping using a shuffle algorithm. An output shuffler and an input shuffler convert a physical data group to a plurality of data subgroups. The physical data group includes a plurality of bits and each subgroup includes a subplurality of bits. The output shuffler performs an output shuffle sequence for providing a predefined output pattern of ordered subplurality data bits. The predefined output pattern of ordered subplurality data bits is applied to the input shuffler. The input shuffler performs a reverse shuffle sequence. For each shuffle transfer a number of first header bytes of a packet are located at a first one of a plurality of physical layer links. Both the output shuffler and the input shuffler are implemented with minimized logic required to keep a largest multiplexer as a 4-to-1 multiplexer, resulting in minimal area and power being used for implementing the shuffle sequence and reverse shuffle sequence.
摘要:
In a multiprocessor system, comprising master and slave processors, a cache coherency controller, and address concentration devices; a method for improving coherent data transfers is described. A command transaction is generated, and a subsequent command from an initiator. Tags added to the responses or further request responses, stream on high-speed busses. Snoops and accumulated snoops expand on cacheline requests as each processor separates burst commands into multiple cacheline requests. Address concentrators containing a cacheline queue function, funnel transaction requests to a global serialization device, where a queuing process prioritizes indicia and coordinates the results among the processors. The cache issues a single burst command for each affected line. System coherency, performance, and latency improvements occur. Additional support for burst transfers between coherent processors is provided.
