    Abstract: Stacking techniques are illustrated in example embodiments of the present invention wherein semiconductor dies are mounted in a module to become a MCM which serves as the basic building block. Combination of these modules and dies in a substrate creates a package with specific function or a range of memory capacity. Several example system configurations are provided using BGA and PGA to illustrate the stacking technique. Several pin assignment and signal routing techniques are illustrated wherein internal and external signals are routed from main board to various stacked modules. Expansion can be done both on the vertical and horizontal orientations.

    Abstract: In conventional storage device system, data transfer from memory to IO bus has to go through an intermediate volatile memory (cache). Data transfer therefore is completed in two steps—data is transferred from memory to cache and then from cache to the IO bus. Memory-to-cache transfer is handled by one DMA engine and another DMA engine for cache-to-IO transfer. To start the transfer, processor prepares the DMA transfer from memory to cache. Upon completion of the memory-to-cache transfer, the processor is interrupted to prepare the transfer from cache to IO. In between transfers, the processor has to intervene to setup the next transfer utilizing the precious processor cycles. The present invention improves on the above process using two novel schemes; 1) The use of dependency table to facilitate the transfer from memory-to-IO with less intervention from the processor and 2) the use of Bus Snooping scheme to bypass the transfer to cache making the transfer directly from memory to IO bus. This makes the transfer from memory to IO completed in single transfer.

    Abstract translation: 在传统的存储设备系统中,从存储器到IO总线的数据传输必须经过中间的易失性存储器(cache)。 因此,数据传输在两个步骤中完成 - 数据从存储器传输到缓存,然后从缓存传输到IO总线。 内存到高速缓存传输由一个DMA引擎和另一个DMA引擎来处理,用于缓存到IO传输。 为了开始传输,处理器准备从存储器到缓存的DMA传输。 在内存到高速缓存传输完成后,处理器被中断以准备从缓存到IO的传输。 在传输之间,处理器必须介入以利用宝贵的处理器周期设置下一个传输。 本发明使用两种新颖的方案改进了上述过程; 1)使用依赖关系表,以便从处理器的干预更少,从内存到IO的传输,以及2)使用总线侦听方案绕过传输缓存,从而将传输直接从内存传输到IO总线。 这使得从内存到IO的传输在单次传输中完成。
