    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor, configured to designate a memory region in a memory, and to issue (i) memory-access commands for accessing the memory and (ii) a conditional-fence command associated with the designated memory region. Memory-Access Control Circuitry (MACC) is configured, in response to identifying the conditional-fence command, to allow execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses within the designated memory region, and to defer the execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses outside the designated memory region, until completion of all the memory-access commands that were issued before the conditional-fence command.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system includes a payload sub-system including interfaces to connect with respective devices, transfer data with the respective devices, and receive write transactions from the respective devices, a classifier to classify the received write transactions into payload data and control data, and a payload cache to store the classified payload data, and a processing unit (PU) sub-system including a local PU cache to store the classified control data, wherein the payload cache and the local PU cache are different physical caches in respective different physical locations in the computer system, and processing core circuitry configured to execute software program instructions to perform control and packet processing responsively to the control data stored in the local PU cache.

    Abstract: A network device includes packet processing circuitry and queue management circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is configured to transmit and receive packets to and from a network. The queue management circuitry is configured to store, in a memory, a queue for queuing data relating to processing of the packets, the queue including a primary buffer and an overflow buffer, to choose between a normal mode and an overflow mode based on a defined condition, to queue the data only in the primary buffer when operating in the normal mode, and, when operating in the overflow mode, to queue the data in a concatenation of the primary buffer and the overflow buffer.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer server system includes a memory to store data across memory locations, multiple processing cores including respective local caches in which to cache cache-lines read from the memory, an interconnect to manage read and write operations of the memory and local caches, maintain local cache location data of the cached cache-lines according to respective ones of the memory locations from which the cached cache-lines were read from the memory, receive a write request for a data element to be written to one of the memory locations, find a local cache location in which to write the data element responsively to the local cache location data and the memory location of the write request, and send an update request to a first processing core to update a respective first local cache with the data element responsively to the found local cache location.
