  • Patent number: 7581042
    Abstract: The apparatus and method described herein are for enabling cacheable writes to I/O device registers. A cache monitor, which may be present in a controller hub, monitors accesses to cache lines in a microprocessor. The cache monitor also associates cache lines in the microprocessor with I/O device registers. When an access to certain cache lines are detected, the cache monitor is operable to receive the contents of the cache line and write those contents to an associated I/O device register. Therefore, a microprocessor may write to a cache line, instead of making an uncacheable write to the I/O device register directly.

  • Publication number: 20050144422
    Abstract: A virtual to physical address translator in which a requesting process supplements a virtual memory address with a shortcut to a physical address associated with one level of a multi-level virtual address translation table. A second process, such as an I/O process, receives the shortcut and the virtual address and uses an address translator to determine the physical address. In some implementations, the shortcut may be made opaque to the requesting process such that the requesting process cannot determine the physical address represented in the shortcut.

  • Publication number: 20050058147
    Abstract: A data network and a method for providing prioritized data movement between endpoints connected by multiple logical channels. Such a data network may include a first node comprising a first plurality of first-in, first-out (FIFO) queues arranged for high priority to low priority data movement operations; and a second node operatively connected to the first node by multiple control and data channels, and comprising a second plurality of FIFO queues arranged in correspondence with the first plurality of FIFO queues for high priority to low priority data movement operations via the multiple control and data channels; wherein an I/O transaction is accomplished by one or more control channels and data channels created between the first node and the second node for moving commands and data for the I/O transaction during the data movement operations, in the order from high priority to low priority.
