Abstract: A memory controller with a separate transaction table for real-time transactions is disclosed. A system includes a plurality of agents and a memory controller configured to receive real-time and non-real-time memory requests from ones of the plurality of agents. The memory controller includes a real-time incoming transaction table configured to store those memory requests received from a subset of the plurality of agents that are real-time memory requests, and a non-real-time incoming transaction table configured to store those memory requests received from the subset of the plurality of agents that are non-real-time memory requests. The memory controller further includes an arbitration circuit configured to select a memory request from among memory requests stored in the real-time and non-real-time incoming transaction tables and further configured to enforce a quality of service policy for the real-time memory requests.

Abstract: Described are embodiments of methods, apparatuses, and systems for multi-protocol tunneling across a multi-protocol I/O interconnect of computer apparatus. A method for multi-protocol tunneling may include establishing a first communication path between ports of a switching fabric of a multi-protocol interconnect of a computer apparatus in response to a peripheral device being connected to the computer apparatus, establishing a second communication path between the switching fabric and a protocol-specific controller, and routing, by the multi-protocol interconnect, packets of a protocol of the peripheral device from the peripheral device to the protocol-specific controller over the first and second communication paths. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
