  • Method for triggering flow control packets
    Patent number: 6975593
    Abstract: A method triggers the transmission of a flow control packet between a receiving device and a sending device on the basis of space available to receive data in a buffer associated with the receiving device. The method increases throughput in a system that requires a flow control packet every predetermined number of clock cycles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2005
    Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Inventors: Josh D. Collier, Ryan P. Abraham
  • Variable width parallel cyclical redundancy check
    Patent number: 6732318
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for generating and checking a cyclical redundancy check value wherein a first device calculates a cyclical redundancy check value on a full set of bits of input data to produce a first value and a second device calculates a cyclical redundancy check value on a subset of the full set of bits of input data to produce a second value. One of the values is selected for transmission to a register. The value in the register is fed back to the devices for iterating the cyclical redundancy check value calculation until it has been completed.
