    Abstract: A bridge includes a memory to establish a transaction table and write combining windows. Each write combining window is associated with a cache line and is subdivided into subwindows; and each of the subwindows is associated with a partial cache line. The bridge includes a controller to determine whether an incoming partial write transaction conflicts with a transaction stored in the transaction table. If a conflict occurs, the controller uses the write combining windows to combine the partial write transaction with another partial write transaction if one of the partial write combining windows is available. The controller issues a retry signal to a processor originating the partial write transaction if none of the partial write combining windows are available.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes power control logic for squelch detection circuitry to enable selective enabling of one or more squelch detection circuits of an interconnect interface in a low power mode. The logic may include a squelch mode control register to select a first mode or a second mode of power control, a second register coupled to the squelch mode control register to receive software settings to indicate which squelch detect circuit(s) to disable in a low power state of the interconnect, and a detector to dynamically detect a logical lane zero of the interconnect in the second mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Detecting and flushing maximal length packets is set forth herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a flushing event and, in response to the flushing event, repeatedly detecting a maximum length packet of write data from a write combining storage area and flushing the detected maximum length packet to a target input/output (I/O) device over a bus. Each maximal length packet is a packet of maximum payload of write data that can be formulated within in the write combining storage area while adhering to packet protocol rules for the bus.
