摘要： In various embodiments, the present invention includes a method for receiving a transaction having first header information from a first peer device at a first agent of a coherent system, inserting second header information onto the transaction, and routing the transaction to a second peer device using the second header information. In one such embodiment, the first header may be a header of a first protocol and the second header may be of a different protocol that is used to tunnel the transaction through the coherent system.

摘要： Methods, apparatus, and systems, for transporting data units comprising multiple pieces of transaction data over high-speed interconnects. A flow control unit, called a KTI (Keizer Technology Interface) Flit, is implemented in a coherent multi-layer protocol supporting coherent memory transactions. The KTI Flit has a basic format that supports use of configurable fields to implement KTI Flits with specific formats that may be used for corresponding transactions. In one aspect, the KTI Flit may be formatted as multiple slots used to support transfer of multiple respective pieces of transaction data in a single Flit. The KTI Flit can also be configured to support various types of transactions and multiple KTI Flits may be combined into packets to support transfer of data such as cache line transfers.

摘要： Methods and apparatus relating to fast deskew when exiting a low-power partial-width high speed link state are described. In one embodiment, an exit flit on active lanes and/or a wake signal/sequence on idle lanes may be transmitted at a first point in time to cause one or more idle lanes of a link to enter an active state. At a second point in time (following or otherwise subsequent to the first point in time), training sequences are transmitted over the one or more idle lanes of the link. And, the one or more idle lanes are deskewed in response to the training sequences and prior to a third point in time (following or otherwise subsequent to the second point in time). Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
