Abstract: A method for providing an operating system access to devices, including enumerating hardware devices and virtualized devices, where resources associated with a first hardware device are divided into guest physical resources creating a software virtualized device, and multiple instances of resources associated with a second hardware device are advertised thereby creating a hardware virtualized device. First and second permission lists are generated that specify which operating systems are permitted to access the software virtualized device and the hardware virtualized device, respectively. First and second sets of virtual address maps are generated, where each set maps an address space associated with either the software virtualized device or the hardware virtualized device into an address space associated with each operating system included in the corresponding permission list.

Abstract: A method for providing a first processor access to a memory associated with a second processor. The method includes receiving a first address map from the first processor that includes an MMIO aperture for a NUMA device, receiving a second address map from a second processor that includes MMIO apertures for hardware devices that the second processor is configured to access, and generating a global address map by combining the first and second address maps. The method further includes receiving an access request transmitted from the first processor to the NUMA device, generating a memory access request based on the first access request and a translation table that maps a first address associated with the first access request into a second address associated with the memory associated with the second processor, and routing the memory access request to the memory based on the global address map.

Abstract: A method for executing processing operations using data stored in a memory. The method includes generating a snoop request configured to determine whether first data stored in a local memory is coherent relative to second data stored in a data cache, the snoop request including destination information that identifies the data cache on a bus, and a cache line address identifying where in the data cache the second data is located. The method further includes causing the snoop request to be transmitted over the bus to the second processor, extracting the cache line address from the snoop request, determining whether the second data is coherent, generating a complete message that includes completion information indicating that the first data is coherent with the second data, and causing the complete message to be transmitted over the bus to the first processor.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide for trusted transactions between a device and system memory. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a host processor asserts and de-asserts trust over a virtual wire. The device accesses certain data if the host processor provides a trusted instruction for it to do so. Once the device attempts to access this certain data, or perform a certain type of data access, a memory controller allows the access on the condition that the host processor previously made the trusted instruction. The device then accepts data if trust is asserted during the data transfer.
