The application discloses a buffer device and a method for controlling data access to an internal memory. The buffer device has a central buffer module coupled to a memory interface to receive a command/address signal via a command/address channel. The central buffer module is configured to detect whether a destination address of the received command/address signal is within a predefined address space, and generate a security read/write signal when the command/address signal is within the predefined address space. The buffer device further has a data buffer module coupled between the memory interface and a memory module to buffer data therebetween. The data buffer module is configured to store reference data, compare the buffered data with the reference data in response to the security read/write signal, and determine whether or not to restrict exchange of the buffered data between the memory module and the memory interface.

Files on a secondary storage are accessed using alternative IO subroutines that buffer IO requests made by a user and mimic the IO subroutines provided by an operating system. The buffer used by the alternative IO subroutines is maintained by the user and not the operating system. User applications are not recompiled or relinked when using the alternative subroutines because the library that provides these subroutines intercepts requests for buffered IO made by user applications to the operating system's IO subroutines and replaces the requests with calls to the alternative IO subroutines that utilize the buffer maintained by the user.

In described embodiments, a multiple first-in, first-out buffer pointers (multi-FIFO pointers) alignment system includes synchronization circuitry to align multiple FIFO buffer operations. A FIFO read clock stoppage signal is generated by master logic that stops the read clock shared by all the transmit channels and then re-starts the read clock to align them. The FIFO read clock stoppage signal is applied to the read clock of all FIFOs which need to be aligned and, when rate change is needed, the FIFO read clock stoppage signal suspends the read clock, causing local write and read pointers to be reset. After the FIFO read clock stoppage signal is de-asserted, the read clock starts to all FIFOs concurrently, thereby aligning the channels.

A method for extracting an accurate IBIS simulation model of a semiconductor device including a plurality of semiconductor chips comprises: extracting an AC characteristics model of a first output buffer in an IBIS simulation model by treating first and second output buffers of first and second semiconductor chips connected to a single external connection terminal as a transistor model and executing a transistor-level circuit simulation; calculating an output capacitance model of the first output buffer as an IBIS simulation model by adding output capacitances of the first and second output buffers as a transistor-level circuit simulation model; and synthesizing an IBIS simulation model of the first output buffer viewed from the external connection terminal by using the AC characteristics model and the output capacitance model.

A method and apparatus for storing and reading an entry having one of a plurality of entry types and storing order information about stored entries, using a single addressable storage array. An index pipe maintains first in, first out order of the entries stored in the addressable storage array. Stages in the index pipe store a value representing the address of the stored entry in the storage array, the type of the stored entry, and the validity of the stored entry. Additional control logic implements order rules between entry types.

There provided a sound data delay unit for delaying sound data of a plurality of channels in a single memory area, the sound data delay unit wherein, when delay amount assigned to each channel is input into an address information generator, the address information generator generates address information for assigning storage area of the sound data for each channel in a memory, and a selector inputs the address information into the memory with respect to each channel and assigns the storage area for each channel.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for moving and/or resizing logical buffers that comprise a memory space without the loss of data. Each buffer comprises a linear and contiguous set of storage locations, and operates according to a FIFO priority scheme, using a read address pointer to indicate the location from which data is read from the buffer and a write address pointer indicating the address into which data is written. A buffer is relocated or resized within the memory space by changing the base location address (defining the lowest storage location comprising the buffer) and/or the top location address (defining the highest memory location within the buffer) into free storage locations. To accomplish this relocation or resizing without the loss of data, the read address is first checked to determine if it bears an appropriate relationship to the new base and top memory locations.

A method for transferring data between non-contiguous buffers in a memory and an I/O device via a system I/O bus uses a descriptor queue stored in memory. Each descriptor points to a buffer and includes the length of the buffer. The I/O device is provided with the base address of the queue, the length of the queue and a current address which at initialization is the same as the base address. When data is to be transferred a device driver located in the processor sends the number of available descriptors (DescrEnq) to the I/O device which accesses the descriptors individually or in burst mode to gain access to the data buffers identified by the descriptors.

A device for managing a plurality of independent queues in a common non-dedicated memory space uses a set of memory space resource use vectors with one vector per managed queue. A vector defines a list of free memory space locations. Read and write pointer registers store the address of memory locations last written or read and a circuit for evaluating the closest successor of these latter memory locations. The device has the advantage of enabling all memory resources to be used, the same resource being usable by any queue.

The invention relates to an address processor for a signal processor. This address processor comprises means for address calculation in a read/write memory containing at least one circular buffer for storing state variables of digital filters. This means comprises a set of registers for storing the current folding address for each circular buffer relative to the absolute start address of the buffer. Furthermore, a calculation unit (+) is included for (1) adding the current folding address to the displacement (data.sub.-- addr, write.sub.-- addr) of a selected state variable relative to the corresponding buffer start address, (2) reducing the sum obtained in step (1) with the corresponding buffer length (mod.sub.-- numb) if the sum exceeds or is equal to this buffer length, and (3) adding the buffer start address to the result obtained in (2) for obtaining the absolute address of the selected state variable.
