Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for generating a Galois-field syndrome. One exemplary method may include loading a first data byte from a first storage device to a first register and loading a second data byte from a second storage device to a second register; ANDing the most significant bit (MSB) of the first data byte and a Galois-field polynomial to generate a first intermediate output; XORing each bit of the first intermediate output with the least significant bits (LSBs) of the first data byte to generate a second intermediate output; MUXing the second intermediate output with each bit of the first data byte to generate a third intermediate output; XORing each bit of the third intermediate output with each bit of the second data byte to generate at a fourth intermediate output; and generating a RAID Q syndrome based on, at least in part, the fourth intermediate output. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a system and method for performing carry/borrow handling. A method according to one embodiment may include generating a first result having a first carry or borrow from a first mathematical operation and storing the first carry or borrow and a first pointer address in a temporary register. The method may further include generating a second result having a second carry or borrow from a second mathematical operation and calling a subroutine configured to perform carry and borrow handling. The method may also include copying the first pointer address from the temporary register into a global variable. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Abstract:
A controller for a random access memory (RAM), such as a static ram (SRAM), includes an address and command queue that holds memory references from a plurality of microcontrol functional units. The address and command queue includes a read queue that stores read memory references. The controller also includes a first read/write queue that holds memory references from a core processor and control logic including an arbiter that detects the fullness of each of the queues and a status of completion of outstanding memory references to select a memory reference from one of the queues. The memory controller may be used in parallel processing systems and may also include an order queue, a lock lookup content addressable memory (CAM) and a read lock fail queue. A system including a media access controller (MAC), a network processor and an SRAM controller, and a method for controlling a RAM, are also described.
Abstract:
A processor is disclosed that can map a request from a central processing unit that uses memory-mapped input-output space to a second processing domain, such as a multithreaded processing domain. A request addressed to the input-output space of the central processing unit is converted to a corresponding command that simulates an operation between components in the multithreaded processing domain. The command is executed in the multithreaded processing domain. Information is accessed according to the request in response to executing the command.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a system and method for performing modular exponentiation. The method includes loading a first word of a vector from memory into a first register and subsequently loading the first word from the first register to a second register. The method may also include loading a second word into the first register and loading at least one bit from the second register into an arithmetic logic unit. The method may further include performing modular exponentiation on the at least one bit to generate a result and generating a public key based upon, at least in part, the result. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Abstract:
Managing memory access to random access memory includes fetching a read lock memory reference request and placing the read lock memory reference request at the end of a read lock miss queue if the read lock memory reference request is requesting access to an unlocked memory location and the read lock miss queue contains at least one read lock memory reference request.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for dictionary accelerator compression. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a plurality of cores; a compression/decompression accelerator coupled to or integral to one or more of the plurality of cores, the compression/decompression accelerator to perform decompression and compression operations in response to read and write operations, respectively, wherein responsive to notification of a compression job to compress a memory page or a portion thereof, a history buffer associated with the compression/decompression accelerator to is to be initialized with pre-configured dictionary data, the compression/decompression accelerator to match portions of the pre-configured dictionary data with portions of the memory page to generate compressed output data.
