An arrangement of buffer in a memory unit including a plurality of memory banks may store information in rows that span the memory banks. Moreover, a processor may be adapted to (i) establish a plurality of buffers to be associated with the memory unit, wherein the size of each buffer is less than the width of a memory bank, and (ii) arrange for a selected buffer to begin in a memory bank other than a memory bank in which a previously selected buffer begins.

A method of executing instructions on a processor includes, receiving a first condition code produced by executing a first instruction during a first clock cycle on an array of engines included in the processor, receiving a second condition code produced by executing a second instruction during a second clock cycle on the array of engines included in the processor, and executing a logical operator on the first and second condition codes during the second clock cycle on the array of engines included in the processor.

We describe a system and method to merge and align data from distributed memory controllers. A memory system includes a command bus to transmit a predetermined memory access command, and a memory interface to manipulate data from at least two memory channels, each memory channel corresponding to a portion of a distributed memory, responsive to the predetermined memory access command. The memory interface includes a plurality of memory controllers coupled to the command bus, each memory controller being operable to control a corresponding memory channel responsive to the predetermined memory access command, and a push arbiter coupled to each memory controller. The push arbiter being is operable to merge and align data retrieved responsive to each split read align command.

Methods, software and systems for handling parity errors in flow control channels are presented. A network processor is provided having a flow control message First In First Out (FIFO) buffer and wherein the FIFO buffer includes a parity field. The network processor is included as either or both of an Ingress network processor and an Egress network processor and is used within a CSIX system or an NPSI NPE system.

In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method of assembling a packet in memory. The method includes reading data included in a first segment of a packet divided into multiple segments and issuing a command to a memory controller that causes the memory controller to shift and write a subset of the read data to a memory coupled to the memory controller. The method also includes saving the remainder of the read data as a first residue, retrieving data included in a second segment of the packet, and writing at least a portion of the retrieved data and the first residue to the memory.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for two-stage packet classification. In the first stage, which may be implemented in software, a packet is classified on the basis of the packet's network path and, perhaps, its protocol. In the second stage, which may be implemented in hardware, the packet is classified on the basis of one or more transport level fields of the packet. An apparatus of two-stage packet classification may include a processing system for first stage code execution, a classification circuit for performing the second stage of classification, and a memory to store a number of bins, each bin including one or more rules.

Provided is an engine for comparing a key with rules having defined ranges. A key is received and a rule is accessed including a high and low values defining a range. The key is concurrently compared with the high and low values to determine whether the key falls within a range defined by the high and low values an indication is made in status information the rule in response to the key falling within the defined range of the rule. An additional iteration of accessing a next rule is performed to concurrently compare the key with the high and low values of the next rule, and indication is made in the status information of the next rule in response to the key falling within a range defined by the next rule.
