  • MULTICAST SUPPORT ON A SWITCH FOR PCIe ENDPOINT DEVICES
    Publication number: 20130016720
    Abstract: Devices and method with hardware configured to support phantom register programming. Where phantom register programming allows a device driver for an endpoint device to program multicast registers in the device without support of the operating system.
    Type: Application

  • Controller that supports data merging utilizing a slice addressable memory array
    Patent number: 6134632
    Abstract: A computer system including a slice-addressable multi-port memory array is disclosed. The slice-addressable multi-port memory array provides a mechanism for efficient data merging in a memory controller in accordance with an associated array of slice-enable bits. Each slice of the memory array is individually designated by a slice-enable bit, and only those slices of a word line enabled for writing that are designated by a slice-enable bit are modified during a write operation. In a subsequent write-merge operation, the slices of the word line enabled for writing that were not designated by slice-enable bits during the write operation are modified, and the slices that were modified during the preceding write operation are unaffected, thereby providing for efficient merger of data from the write operation and data from the write-merge operation in a single word line.
