An advanced processor comprises a plurality of multithreaded processor cores each having a data cache and instruction cache. A data switch interconnect is coupled to each of the processor cores and configured to pass information among the processor cores. A messaging network is coupled to each of the processor cores and a plurality of communication ports. The data switch interconnect is coupled to each of the processor cores by its respective data cache, and the messaging network is coupled to each of the processor cores by its respective message station. In one aspect of an embodiment of the invention, the messaging network connects to a high-bandwidth star-topology serial bus such as a PCI express (PCIe) interface capable of supporting multiple high-bandwidth PCIe lanes. Advantages of the invention include the ability to provide high bandwidth communications between computer systems and memory in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

An apparatus to implement Huffman decoding in an INFLATE process in a compression engine. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a bit buffer, a set of comparators, and a lookup table. The bit buffer stores a portion of a compressed data stream. The set of comparators compares the portion of the compressed data stream with a plurality of predetermined values. The lookup table stores a plurality of LZ77 code segments and out puts one of the LZ77 code segments corresponding to an index at least partially derived from a comparison result from the set of comparators.

摘要:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for sending a message from a first queue to a second queue associated with a receiver agent in response to a request. In operation, a message is sent from a sender agent to a first queue. Additionally, a request is received at the first queue from a receiver agent. Furthermore, the message is sent from the first queue to a second queue associated with the receiver agent, in response to the request.

Disclosed is an approach for configuring devices for a multiprocessor system, where the devices pertaining to the different processors are viewed as connecting to a standardized common bus. Regardless of the specific processor to which a device is directly connected, that device can be generally identified and accessed along the standardized common bus. PCIe is an example of a suitable standardized bus type that can be employed, where the devices for each processor node are represented as PCIe devices. Therefore, each of the devices would appear to the system software as a PCIe device. A PCIe controller can then be used to access the device by referring to the appropriate device identifier. This permits any device to be accessed on any of the processor nodes, without separate and individualized configurations or drivers for each separate processor node.
