摘要:
A distribution element composed of a crossbar-type switch with four independent ports and direct multicast transfer capability which effects a direct interface to applications with an instruction sets for the distribution element, the sets providing for global memory sharing, synchronization, and lossless flow control.
摘要:
A computer system for embodying a virtual flow pipeline programmable processing architecture for a plurality of wireless protocol applications is disclosed. The computer system includes a plurality of functional units for executing a plurality of tasks, a synchronous task queue and a plurality of asynchronous task queues for linking the plurality of tasks to be executed by the functional units in a priority order, and a virtual flow pipeline controller. The virtual flow pipeline controller includes a processing engine for processing a plurality of commands; a scheduler, communicatively coupled to the processing engine, for selecting a next task for processing at run time for each of the plurality of functional units; a processing engine controller, communicatively coupled to the processing engine, for providing commands and arguments to the processing engine and monitoring command completion; and a task flow manager, communicatively coupled to the processing engine controller, for activating the next task for processing. Also disclosed is a computer-implemented method for executing a plurality of wireless protocol applications embodying a virtual flow pipeline programmable processing architecture in a computer system.
摘要:
A multimedia communications and computer platform that can serve as a network interface card combined with an internal distribution network for a full range of user terminal devices. It includes an interconnection network module that serves to route all incoming and outgoing information by way of high speed buses with value added features for communication protocol acceleration. In particular, attached to the different ports of the network are an ATM module, a communications processor, a media processor and a variety of terminal devices. By migrating processing intensive functions of network protocol termination, media stream distribution and media stream adaptation into the network interface card, there are avoided the bottlenecks of the traditional CPU centric approach to ATM systems.
