  • Daisy chain latency reduction
    Patent number: 6799235
    Abstract: Transmitting data on a serial data transmission path to reduce latency including reading only enough of a device address of a serial data word to determine if the serial data word is addressed to a first device having an address, wherein the serial data word is transmitted across a first link of a first serial data transmission path to the first device and passing the serial data word across a second link of the first serial data transmission path to a second device if the serial data word is not addressed to the first device.
    Type: Grant

  • Speculative memory command preparation for low latency
    Patent number: 6625707
    Abstract: Speculative memory commands are prepared for reduced latency. A system memory read request is sent for preparing a main memory read command and for performing a cache lookup. The main memory read command is prepared independent from the performance of the cache lookup.

  • Daisy chain latency reduction
    Publication number: 20030126333
    Abstract: Transmitting data on a serial data transmission path includes reading at least one bit of a device address, wherein the device address is coupled with a serial data word and the serial data word is transmitted across a first link of a first serial data transmission path to a first device having an address. The serial data word is passed across a second link of the first serial data transmission path to a second device if the at least one bit of the device address does not match at least one corresponding address bit of the first device.
