    摘要: A computer system includes a priority arbitration scheme that prevents "hogging" of a bus by a priority agent. The computer system comprises at least one agent, at least one priority agent, a system resource, and a bus coupling the agent, priority agent, and system resource to one another. An arbiter is coupled to the bus, agent, and priority agent to receive request signals from the agent and the priority agent and to grant control of the bus to one of the agent and priority agent for access to the system resource. The priority agent is granted control of the bus whenever the priority agent asserts a request signal, as soon as the bus becomes next available. The priority agent relinquishes control of the bus to the agent, for a predetermined portion of the bus bandwidth, when a request signal is asserted by the agent.

    摘要: A multiprocessor system comprises at least one processing module, at least one I/O module, and an interconnect network to connect the at least one processing module with the at least one input/output module. In an example embodiment, the interconnect network comprises at least two bridges to send and receive transactions between the input/output modules and the processing module The interconnect network further comprises at least two crossbar switches to route the transactions over a high bandwidth switch connection. Using embodiments of the interconnect network allows high bandwidth communication between processing modules and I/O modules Standard processing module hardware can be used with the interconnect network without modifying the BIOS or the operating system. Furthermore, using the interconnect network of embodiments of the present invention is non-invasive to the processor motherboard. The processor memory bus, clock, and reset logic all remain intact.

    摘要: A low jitter external clocking system and method are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a differential clock signal is received on a first clock signal line and a second clock signal line. A differential amplifier coupled to the first clock signal line and the second clock signal line amplifies the differential clock signal into a single-ended output clock signal.
