摘要:
In an electronic system having at least one enclosure including at least one connecting board with at least one associated device coupled thereto, a respective physical location of each device is electronically determined, and an indication of each respective physical location is stored in memory disposed in the at least one enclosure. An operating system uses the stored physical location indication to correlate logical addresses to physical location.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for implementing a receive function over an interconnect network, such as InfiniBand. A virtual lane (VL) with a pending packet for a queue pair (QP) is selected. Then the pending packet is checked for an exceptional condition. Responsive to identifying the exceptional condition for the pending packet, a state bit is set for freezing the selected VL; and an interrupt is generated to firmware. Responsive to receiving the interrupt, the firmware determines a cause for freezing the selected VL and performs a responsive action. For example, the responsive action performed by firmware includes firmware performing an error recovery procedure (ERP) for the QP; firmware updating a state for the QP; or firmware performing application unique processing for the QP.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for implementing global to local queue pair translation in a network transport layer. A global queue pair number is identified. The global queue pair number is translated to a smaller local queue pair number. The local queue pair number is used for storing local queue pair context data for outbound header generation and inbound header checking. Upper layers of the network protocol above the network transport layer are allowed to use the global queue pair numbers.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing a transmit queue. A queue pair context memory is provided for storing a set of pointers for each queue pair. The set of pointers are used to control the transmit queue for receiving, processing, and sending messages. Responsive to identifying an error for a queue pair, a limit pointer enable bit and a limit pointer to identify a last request for processing after the error are stored in the queue pair context memory for the queue pair.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing queue pair connection protection over an interconnect network, such as InfiniBand. A message packet is received for a queue pair (QP) and the QP is checked for an imminent connection failure. Responsive to identifying an imminent connection failure, a special message processing mode is established for the QP. After the special message processing mode is established, packets of the message are received without establishing a message queue entry and without storing packet data.

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing error injection for peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bridges. The apparatus for implementing error injection for peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bridges includes a plurality of PCI busses and a control logic coupled to the plurality of PCI busses. The control logic targets a selected bus of the plurality of PCI busses. A hit is detected on the selected bus. Responsive to the detected hit, an error is injected on the selected bus. For a detected hit for predefined bug types, the operation must match a selected read or write, target or master, command type and the address must match unmasked address bits. For a detected hit for another predefined bug type, the PCI data bus must also match an unmask data register.

A PCI host bridge and an associated method of use are disclosed. The PCI host bridge includes a host bus interface, an I/O bus interface, and a PCI operation detection circuit. The host bus interface is suitable for communicating with a host bus of a data processing system and the I/O bus interface is suitable for communicating with a primary PCI bus operating in PCI-X mode. The PCI operation detection circuit is adapted to detect a PCI-X operation from the primary PCI bus that may have issued from a PCI mode adapter coupled to a secondary PCI bus. The detection circuit is further adapted to generate a modified operation for forwarding to the host bus in response to determining that the PCI-X operation may have originated from a PCI. mode adapter.

A mixed-endian computer system enhanced to manage I/O DMA without a software DMA performance penalty. A mixed-endian computer system can change endian mode on a task by task basis if necessary. The mixed-endian system, as enhanced, performs one of two well-defined DMA operations based on control bits either in the DMA control register or in a bit vector associated with each page of processor storage. This invention also describes means for treating I/O registers as if they were of the endian of the executing processor, instead of the more typical need to have the register operate in a particular endian.

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing enhanced vertical ECC storage in a dynamic random access memory. A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is split into a plurality of groups. Each group resides inside a DRAM row address strobe (RAS) page so that multiple locations inside a group can be accessed without incurring an additional RAS access penalty. Each group is logically split into a plurality of segments for storing data with at least one segment for storing ECC for the data segments. For a write operation, data are written in a data segment and then ECC for the data are written in an ECC segment. For a read operation, ECC are read from an ECC segment, then data are read from the data segment.

A method and calibration apparatus implement calibration of sampling of a data strobe signal (DQS) during synchronous dynamic random access memory (DRAM) reads. A calibration control is provided to enable calibration testing. A selected one of a received DQS signal and an internal Enable signal is driven onto a data mask (DQM) IO during a DRAM read for calibration testing. The received DQS signal and the internal Enable signal are used to adjust the Enable delay to generally center the preamble time at the DQS receiver.
