Patent number: 11899964Abstract: Resources of an electronic device are partitioned into a plurality of resource portions to be utilized by a plurality of clients. Each resource portion is assigned to a respective client, has a respective partition identifier (ID), and corresponds to a plurality memory bandwidth usage states tracked for a plurality of memory blocks. For each resource portion, each of the memory bandwidth usage states is associated with a respective memory block and indicates at least how much of a memory access bandwidth assigned to the respective partition ID to access the respective memory block is used. A usage level is determined for each resource partition based on the memory bandwidth usage states, and applied to adjust a credit count. When the credit count is adjusted beyond a request issue threshold, a next data access request is issued from a memory access request queue for the respective partition ID.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ramkumar Srinivasan, Amit Kumar, Vedaraman Geetha, Keith Robert Pflederer, Vikas Kumar Sinha

Patent number: 11741028Abstract: Innovative techniques to efficient stripe ordered writes across multiple socket-to-socket links. The ordered writes may be PCIe ordered writes. Each socket-to-socket write (or remote write) for an address may be converted into two transactions. The first transaction may ensure that coherency for the address is ensured. The second transaction may be the actual request transaction to write the data of the address. In so doing, when multiple remote writes are involved, the remote writes may be distributed over multiple socket-to-socket links to maximize bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vedaraman Geetha, Keith Robert Pflederer

Patent number: 10474385Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for managing fragmentation in hardware-assisted compression of data in physical computer memory which may result in reduced internal fragmentation. An example computer-implemented method comprises: providing, by a memory management program to compression hardware, a compression command including an address in physical computer memory of data to be compressed and a list of at least two available buffers for storing compressed data; using, by the compression hardware, the address included in the compression command to retrieve uncompressed data; compressing the uncompressed data; and selecting, by the compression hardware, from the list of at least two available buffers, at least two buffers for storing compressed data based on an amount of space that would remain if the compressed data were stored in the at least two buffers, wherein each of the at least two selected buffers differs in size from at least one other of the selected buffers.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Santhosh Rao, Sameer Nanda, Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Malyugin, Luigi Semenzato, Aaron Durbin, Keith Robert Pflederer, Hsiao-Heng Kelin Lee, Rahul Jagdish Thakur

Patent number: 9287893Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit having a decompression block. The decompression block is configured as a pipeline that may include a length module and a distance module. The length module evaluates a length for each symbol. The distance module may resolve distances in an at least one length-distance pair. The length module may include a shifter stage configured to store two consecutive words, and control a sliding window of symbols, in order to extract literals or distances. The length module may include a mapper stage configured to map the literals or distances to positions in the output stream. The distance module may include a pointer replacement stage and a resolution stage. The pointer replacement stage configured to replace distances, represented as pointers within an output word, with either literals or other pointers to prior words. The resolution stage configured to replace the other pointers with literals, and output the literals.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventor: Keith Robert Pflederer
