Abstract:
Method and apparatus suited for use with a decoder receiving data serially from a network is disclosed providing synchronization throughout reception and decoding of packets of symbols. An appropriately-delayed read pointer initialization strobe used by an elastic buffer portion of the receiver provides the sequence of synchronization signals which avoids deletion of bits of packet preamble.
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, the reference portion of a primitive current switch used in emitter coupled logic or current mode logic is modified by introducing a slow device as the reference element in order to enhance the speed of turn on and turn off of the input elements. In particular, the reference transistor of a conventional ECL inverter gate or conventional CML inverter gate is replaced with a slow transistor or slow diode in order to bypass the emitter dynamic resistance. The emitter time constant of the reference element Q.sub.R is thereby increased so that the voltage on the common current source node (node 3) does not change substantially when the base of the input elements change transiently. As a consequence, the collector output of the input element, such as transistor Q.sub.A is switched on or off significantly faster.
Abstract:
A graphics processing unit (GPU) includes a plurality of programmable processing cores configured to process graphics primitives and corresponding data and a plurality of fixed-function hardware units. The plurality of processing cores and the plurality of fixed-function hardware units are configured to implement a configurable number of virtual pipelines to concurrently process different command flows. Each virtual pipeline includes a configurable number of fragments and an operational state of each virtual pipeline is specified by a different context. The configurable number of virtual pipelines can be modified from a first number to a second number that is different than the first number. An emulation of a fixed-function hardware unit can be instantiated on one or more of the graphics processing cores in response to detection of a bottleneck in a fixed-function hardware unit. One or more of the virtual pipelines can then be reconfigured to utilize the emulation instead of the fixed-function hardware unit.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and techniques are provided for a fabric addressable memory. A memory access request is received from a host computing device attached via one edge port of one or more interconnect switches, the memory access request directed to a destination segment of a physical fabric memory block that is allocated in local physical memory of the host computing device. The edge port accesses a stored mapping between segments of the physical fabric memory block and one or more destination port identifiers that are each associated with a respective edge port of the fabric addressable memory. The memory access request is routed by the one edge port to a destination edge port based on the stored mapping.
