In some embodiments, a power up (or power mode) interface is provided whereby a chip's power up signals are encoded into multiple states to provide more functions than the number of signals used to define the states.

The setting in a configuration register is controlled based on a value stored in a management register and/or based on generation of a reset signal during a debugging operation or detection of a malfunction or power state transition in an electronic system. The management register may allocate a single bit to each configuration register, and the setting to be loaded into the configuration register is to be controlled based on the value of the bit. Additionally, or alternatively, the setting in the configuration register may be controlled when the reset signal assumes a value indicating that a default setting is to be stored.

A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used in a computer system to perform multiple roles in a platform storage hierarchy, specifically, to replace traditional mass storage that is accessible by an I/O. The computer system includes a processor to execute software and a memory coupled to the processor. At least a portion of the memory comprises a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) that is byte-rewritable and byte-erasable by the processor. The system further comprises a memory controller coupled to the NVRAM to perform a memory access operation to access the NVRAM in response to a request from the software for access to a mass storage.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a request in a router from a first endpoint coupled to the router, where the request is for an aggregated completion. In turn, the router can forward the request to multiple target agents, receive a response from each of the target agents, and consolidate the responses into an aggregated completion. Then, the router can send the aggregated completion to the first endpoint. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, a method includes determining whether producer-consumer ordering rules have been met for a first transaction to be sent from a source agent to a target agent via a fabric, and if so a first request for the first transaction is sent from the source agent to the fabric in a first clock cycle. Then a second request can be sent from the source agent to the fabric for a second transaction in a pipelined manner. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要:
An enhanced general input/output communication architecture, protocol and related methods are presented. In one embodiment, a method is described comprising receiving a datagram at general input/output (GIO) interface from a remote GIO interface coupled through a GIO link, validating content of one or more packets embedded within the received datagram, and issuing an acknowledgment to the remote GIO interface that the datagram was successfully received on positive validation of the datagram before promoting the embedded packets to a transaction layer of the GIO interface. Other embodiments are also described.
