Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for dynamically reconfiguring a base address register (BAR) of a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) configuration space. In an example, information relating to a BAR of a PCIe configuration space is written to a PCIe extended configuration space of the PCIe configuration space, which is read, by a dynamic BAR module.

Writing the set value to an address bit of the BAR is prevented when the address bit is set to a predefined value. After attempting to write, a read value is read from the bits of the BAR. A base address of memory is written to the BAR based on the read value.

An error state for a queue can thus be cleared when its processing reaches the next error barrier instruction in the queue.

Abstract: Examples herein describe a peripheral I/O device with a hybrid gateway that permits the device to have both I/O and coherent domains. That is, the I/O device can benefit from a traditional I/O model where the I/O device driver manages some of the compute resources in the I/O device as well as the benefits of adding other compute resources in the I/O device to the same coherent domain used by the hardware in the host computing system. As result, the compute resources in the coherent domain of the peripheral I/O device can communicate with the host in a similar manner as, e.g., CPU-to-CPU communication in the host. At the same time, the compute resources in the I/O domain can benefit from the advantages of the traditional I/O device model which provides efficiencies when doing large memory transfers between the host and the I/O device (e.g., DMA).
