A digital electronic system architecture having one or more system components and a memory coupled to selected system components, the memory selectively storing and communicating data among the coupled components. The digital electronic system preferably also has a transaction control bus, coupled to each of the selected system components and to the memory, for communicating command and control signals among the components and memory. A memory circuit is provided that has a plurality of ports, each of the ports (i) having an input terminal and an output terminal that transfer data independently of one another, (ii) operating independently of one another and (iii) being coupled respectively to one of the other system components for data communication therewith. A read interface for a memory array is provided that has a queue for receiving data read from a row of the array and a selection circuit for placing in the queue a contiguous block of the read data, the size of the block and its placement being selectable. The read interface preferably comprises a plurality of queues, and the selection circuit preferably is adapted to place independently selectable blocks of the read data in independently selectable positions in selected queues. A write interface for a memory array is also provided that has a queue for receiving data to be written to the array and a selection circuit for placing in the array a contiguous block of received data, the size of the block and its placement being selectable. The write interface preferably comprises a plurality of queues, and the selection circuit preferably is adapted to place independently selectable data received from selected queues in independently selectable positions in the memory array.
摘要:
An interprocess communication technique transfers a message from a first process' memory (on a first computer system) directly to a second process' memory (on a second computer system). The message is identified by a virtual address and possibly a memory handle. The message is not stored in intermediary memory, such as operating system buffer memory, during the transfer. The communication technique may also provide virtual to physical address translation and memory protection. Memory protection is provided by ensuring that the communicating processes own the memory (the contents of which includes the message) being transferred between them.

A high performance interleaved memory addressing system and method. A plurality of banks of random access memory devices are provided. The appropriate bank for a given memory address is selected based upon the parity among a preselected set of address bits including the least significant bit. A parity signal for selection of a memory bank is produced by a parity signal generation circuit, preferably a logic circuit. Typically, more than two memory banks would be employed, utilizing at least two parity signal generation circuits, each corresponding to respective least significant bits of the memory address. The output signals from the parity circuits are combined in a decoder to select the memory bank.
摘要:
A node uses a two dimensional array of transmit queues to store frames to be transmitted from the node to another node. The size of the array is governed by the number of directions to which the other node may forward frames once received from the node, and the number of priorities that may be associated with the frames. The transmit queues are distinguished from each other based on direction and priority. A transmitter transmits frames dequeued from the transmit queues to the other node. Control logic that controls the transmit queues receives an indication from the other node whether the other node is experiencing traffic congestion in any of the directions and the priority of frames at or below which the control logic is to control the dequeuing of frames from transmit queues corresponding to the directions in which the other node is experiencing traffic congestion.

An apparatus and a system may include an adaptation module, a plurality of Direct Transport Interfaces (DTIs), a DTI accelerator, and a Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) accelerator. The adaptation module may provide a translated sockets call from an application program to one of the DTIs, where an included set of memory structures may couple the translated sockets call to the DTI accelerator, which may in turn couple the set of memory structures to the TCP/IP accelerator. An article may include data causing a machine to perform a method including: receiving an application program sockets call at the adaptation module, deriving a translated sockets call from the application program sockets call, receiving the translated sockets call at a DTI, coupling the translated sockets call to a DTI accelerator using a set of memory structures in the DTI, and coupling the set of memory structures to a TCP/IP accelerator.
