Abstract: Multiple clients may attempt to utilize a coprocessor engine within a coprocessor simultaneously. However, each engine may accomplish the particular function for which it is designed for one client at a time. Therefore, to transition from performing coprocessor engine operations between clients, the coprocessor engine may be suspended from performing operations for a first client so that it may begin performing operations for a second client. Prior to such transition, the coprocessor engine saves metadata about its operation state at the time of the suspension. At a subsequent time, when operations for the first client are to resume, the operating state of the coprocessor engine is determined utilizing the metadata and operations for the first client resume.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a first method of scheduling a command to be issued on a bus is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) associating an address and priority with each of a plurality of commands to be issued on the bus, wherein the priority associated with each command is based on the address associated with the command; (2) updating the priority associated with each command after a predetermined time period; and (3) from the plurality of commands, selecting a command to be issued on the bus based on the address and updated priority associated with the command to be issued. Numerous other aspects are provided.
