    摘要: Video data is decompressed in a coder/decoder (CODEC) and then scaled in a scaler device before being provided to a frame buffer within a display adapter of a data processing system. Since the scaling of the video data often results in a significant increase in the required bandwidth, a buffer implemented within the scaling device may reach a threshold level whereby it is not desired that any more scaled data be received before being transmitted to the frame buffer. When such a threshold level is reached, a stall signal is sent to the interface between the scaler device and the CODEC device providing the pixel data, which results in the stopping of the transmission of pixel data from the CODEC to the scaler device. Assertion of the stall signal results in the suspension of the transmission of the horizontal and vertical synchronization signals and the pixel clock signal from the scaler device to the CODEC device.

    摘要: An improved asynchronous data buffer is disclosed. The data buffer comprises an entry section and a signaling circuit coupled to the entry section, the signaling circuit for signaling the data buffer to transfer a portion of a data cell from the entry section prior to the data cell being completely received by the entry section. Through the use of the data buffer in accordance with the present invention, data transfer systems are improved in two ways. Firsts by enabling data to be transferred before it is completely stored into the buffer, the latency that is typically required for data cell transfer is reduced. Second, the buffer storage space that is typically required to store a complete data cell is also reduced. This twofold improvement produces increased data transfer rates while decreasing the amount of required buffer storage space.

    摘要: A method and system for providing simulation of an integrated circuit during development of the integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit has an island that includes an interface. The method and system include a snooper, a checker and a generator. The snooper is coupled with an interface and is for obtaining an output provided by the island during simulation. The checker is coupled with an interface and is for checking the output to determine whether the output is a desired output. The generator is coupled with an interface and is for providing an input to the interface during simulation. The generator is coupled with a test case that directs the generator.
