    Abstract: A general input/output communication port implements a communication stack that includes a physical layer, a data link layer and a transaction layer. The transaction layer includes assembling a packet header for a message request transaction to one or more logical devices. The packet header includes a format field to indicate the length of the packet header and to further specify whether the packet header includes a data payload, a subset of a type field to indicate the packet header relates to the message request transaction and a message field. The message field includes a message to implement the message request transaction. The message includes at least one message that is selected from a group of messages. The group of messages to include a message to unlock a logical device, a message to reset a logical device, a message to indicate a correctable error condition, a message to indicate an uncorrectable error condition, a message to indicate a fatal error condition, a message to report a bad request packet, a message to indicate power management and a message to emulate an interrupt signal.

    Abstract: A device is provided with two or more uplink ports to connect the device via two or more links to one or more sockets, where each of the sockets includes one or more processing cores, and each of the two or more links is compliant with a particular interconnect protocol. The device further includes I/O logic to identify data to be sent to the one or more processing cores for processing, determine an affinity attribute associated with the data, and determine which of the two or more links to use to send the data to the one or more processing cores based on the affinity attribute.
