    Abstract: An apparatus translates transaction requests using a bus protocol translation lookup table (LUT) that comprises bus protocol translation data. A bus protocol translation controller generates the outgoing translated transaction request by translating the incoming transaction request using the bus protocol translation data from the bus protocol translation LUT. The controller translates a received response from the target unit to a response in a first bus protocol for a corresponding requesting unit. Associated methods are also presented. In some examples, the bus protocol translation data corresponds to each of a plurality of requesting units for translating between an incoming transaction request sent via a first bus protocol to an outgoing translated transaction request sent via a second bus protocol for the at least one target unit.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses provide support for multiple address spaces in order to facilitate data movement. One apparatus includes an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) comprising: a plurality of memory-mapped input/output (MMIO) registers that map memory address spaces belonging to the IOMMU and at least a second IOMMU; and hardware control logic operative to: synchronize the plurality of MMIO registers of the at least the second IOMMU; receive, from a peripheral component endpoint coupled to the IOMMU, a direct memory access (DMA) request, the DMA request to a memory address space belonging to the at least the second IOMMU; access the plurality of MMIO registers of the IOMMU based on context data of the DMA request; and access, from the IOMMU, a function assigned to the memory address space belonging to the at least the second IOMMU based on the accessed plurality of MMIO registers.
