    摘要: A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a host processor (HP), a system memory (SM), and an input/output (I/O) master device to perform a read of a continuous stream of data to the SM. The computer system also includes a bridge coupled to the HP, SM, and I/O master device. The bridge reads ahead to the SM when the I/O master device reads a continuous stream of data from the SM. The bridge aborts read ahead accesses to the SM, prior to an access commit point to the SM, responsive to disengagement of the I/O master device.

    摘要: For isochronous data steams processed by a computer system, for example high definition audio streams, embodiments keep track of the free space available in the input and output buffers for the data streams. The available free space in the buffers determines whether various low power entry and exit thresholds are met or not. If all low power entry thresholds are met, then various circuits such as clocks, phase locked loops, and direct media interface links, may be put into a low power state, and the data stream controller enters an idle window so that memory requests are not serviced. During this time, system DRAM may begin refresh. Once the low power state has been entered into, if any exit threshold is met, then the low power state is ended. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A combination of techniques to prevent deadlocks and livelocks in a computer system having a dispatcher and multiple downstream command queues. In one embodiment, a broadcast transaction that requires simultaneously available space in all the affected downstream command queues becomes a delayed transaction, so that the command queues are reserved and other transactions are retried until the broadcast transaction is completed. In another embodiment, a bail-out timer is used to defer a transaction if the transaction does not complete within a predetermined time. In yet another embodiment, a locked transaction that potentially addresses memory space controlled by a programmable attribute map is handled as a delayed transaction if there is less than a predetermined amount of downstream buffer space available for the transaction.
