  • Data flow management
    Patent number: 12248425
    Abstract: A switch is described. The switch includes a plurality of ports, a plurality of port logic modules, a memory, and a switch fabric. Transactions ingress and egress the switch via the ports. The port logic modules are coupled with the ports. Each port logic module has core clock domain logic for a core clock domain specific to a corresponding port. The memory includes banks. The memory and the switch fabric have a system clock domain. The core clock domain for each of the port logic modules is different from the system clock domain.

  • VIRTUAL CXL SWITCH
    Publication number: 20240422100
    Abstract: A switch including physical ports, virtual switches, and a switch fabric is described. A virtual switch of the virtual switches includes virtual ports corresponding to the physical ports of the switch and is configured to provide a translated routing structure (TRS). The TRS corresponds to a local identifier of a source device coupled with a corresponding physical port and is unique to the source device for the switch. The switch fabric interconnects the physical ports. In some embodiments, the switch is a compute express link (CXL) switch.
