A processor with on-chip memory including a plurality of physical memory banks is disclosed. The processor includes a method, and corresponding apparatus, of enabling multi-access to the plurality of physical memory banks. The method comprises selecting a subset of multiple access requests to be executed in at least one clock cycle over at least one of a number of access ports connected to the plurality of physical memory banks, the selected subset of access requests addressed to different physical memory banks, among the plurality of memory banks, and scheduling the selected subset of access requests, each over a separate access port.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are provided for allocating a plurality of packets to different processor threads. In operation, a plurality of packets are parsed to gather packet information. Additionally, a parse operation is performed utilizing the packet information to generate a key, and a hash algorithm is performed on this key to produce a hash. Further, the packets are allocated to different processor threads, utilizing the hash or the key.

Methods and apparatus for coordinated multipoint receiver processing acceleration and latency reduction. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a receiver that receives symbols from a wireless transmission and stores the symbols in a memory. The receiver also outputs an indicator that indicates that storage of the symbols in the memory has begun. The apparatus also includes a controller that outputs control signaling in response to the indicator. The apparatus also includes a link that acquires the symbols and remote scheduling and control information (RSCI) from the memory in response to receiving the control signaling. The link combines the symbols with the RSCI to form packets and transmits the packets to an external system.

A method and system of packet assembly is provided. The method includes providing a first packet descriptor. The first packet descriptor is a pointer-to-pointer (P2P) descriptor that includes pointer information. The method further includes retrieving a first pointer referenced by the pointer information of the first packet descriptor; providing the first pointer to a DMA engine; and using the DMA engine to retrieve packet data referenced by the first pointer.

Methods and apparatus for a unified baseband architecture. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a shared memory having a plurality of access ports and a scheduler that outputs scheduled jobs. Each scheduled job identifies data processing to be performed. The apparatus also includes a plurality of functional elements coupled to the plurality of access ports, respectively, to access the shared memory. Each functional element is operable to retrieve selected data from the shared memory, process the selected data to generate processed data, and store the processed data into the shared memory based on a received scheduled job.

In one embodiment, a system includes a station circuit. The station circuit includes a data layer and a transport layer. The station circuit is capable of a source mode and a destination mode. The data layer of the station circuit in source mode disassembles a source packet into one or more source parcels and sends the one or more source parcels to the transport layer. The station circuit in destination mode receives the one or more destination parcels over a ring at its transport layer, reassembles the one or more destination parcels into a destination packet, and delivers the destination packet from the transport layer to the data layer. The transport layer of the station circuit in source mode transmits the one or more source parcels over the ring. The transport layer of the station circuit in destination mode receives the one or more destination parcels over the ring.
