摘要： A mechanism is provided for merging in a network processor results from a parser and results from an external coprocessor providing processing support requested by said parser. The mechanism enqueues in a result queue both parser results needing to be merged with a coprocessor result and parser results which have no need to be merged with a coprocessor result. An additional queue is used to enqueue the addresses of the result queue where the parser results are stored. The result from the coprocessor is received in a simple response register. The coprocessor result is read by the result queue management logic from the response register and merged to the corresponding incomplete parser result read in the result queue at the address enqueued in the additional queue.

摘要： Mechanisms for processing of communications between data processing devices are provided. With the mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments, a set of techniques that enables sustaining media speed by distributing transmit and receive-side processing over multiple processing cores is provided. In addition, these techniques also enable designing multi-threaded network interface controller (NIC) hardware that efficiently hides the latency of direct memory access (DMA) operations associated with data packet transfers over an input/output (I/O) bus. Multiple processing cores may operate concurrently using separate instances of a communication protocol stack and device drivers to process data packets for transmission with separate hardware implemented send queue managers in a network adapter processing these data packets for transmission. Multiple hardware receive packet processors in the network adapter may be used, along with a flow classification engine, to route received data packets to appropriate receive queues and processing cores for processing.

摘要： A communication network used to link information handling systems together utilizes a switching network to transmit data among senders and receivers. Each individual packet of data is described and controlled by an FCB. The bandwidth associated with the storing and distribution of data is optimized by chaining the data packets in different types of queues, or operating without chaining outside a queue. When a frame is in an output queue, the third word contains an RFCBA for egress of the frame to a line port, and an MCID for ingress from an output queue to a switch port. The RFCBA and the MCID have multicast capabilities. The format does not require a third word when a frame is in an input queue.

摘要： Access arbiters are used to prioritize read and write access requests to individual memory banks in DRAM memory devices, particularly fast cycle DRAMs. This serves to optimize the memory bandwidth available for the read and the write operations by avoiding consecutive accesses to the same memory bank and by minimizing dead cycles. The arbiter first divides DRAM accesses into write accesses and read accesses. The access requests are divided into accesses per memory bank with a threshold limit imposed on the number of accesses to each memory bank. The write receive packets are rotated among the banks based on the write queue status. The status of the write queue for each memory bank may also be used for system flow control. The arbiter also typically includes the ability to determine access windows based on the status of the command queues, and to perform arbitration on each access window.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for sharing a communication used by a parser (parser path) in a network adapter of a network processor for sending requests for a process to be executed by an external coprocessor. The parser path is shared by processors of the network processor (software path) to send requests to the external processor. The mechanism uses for the software path a request mailbox comprising a control address and a data field accessed by MMIO for sending two types of messages, one message type to read or write resources and one message type to trigger an external process in the coprocessor and a response mailbox for receiving response from the external coprocessor comprising a data field and a flag field. The other processors of the network poll the flag until set and get the coprocessor result in the data field.

摘要： Systems and methods for scheduling data packets in a network processor are disclosed. Embodiments provide a network processor that comprises a best-effort scheduler with a minimal calendar structure for addressing schedule control blocks. In one embodiment, a four-entry calendar structure provides for rate-limited weighted best effort scheduling. Each of a plurality of different flows has associated schedule control blocks. Schedule control blocks are stored as linked lists in a last-in-first-out buffer. Each calendar entry is associated with a different linked list by storing in the calendar entry the address of the first-out schedule control block in the linked list. Each schedule control block has a counter and is assigned a rate limit according to the bandwidth priority of the flow to which the corresponding packet belongs. Each time a schedule control block is accessed from a last-in-first-out buffer storing the linked list, the scheduler generates a scheduling event and the counter of the schedule control block is incremented. When an incremented counter of a schedule control block equals its rate limit, the schedule control block is temporarily removed from further scheduling until a time interval concludes.
