  • Publication number: 20250133129
    Abstract: A cross-domain device includes a first interface to couple to a first device and a second interface to couple to a second device, where the first device is to implement a first component in a radio access network (RAN) system in a first computing domain, and the second device is to implement a second component in the RAN system in a second computing domain. The first component is to interface within the second component in a RAN processing pipeline. The cross-domain device further comprises hardware to implement a communication channel between the first device and the second device to pass data from the first component to the second component, where the communication channel enforces isolation of the first computing domain from the second computing domain.

  • Publication number: 20250133035
    Abstract: A cross-domain device includes interfaces to couple to a first device, second device, and third device. The cross-domain device creates a first buffer in its shared memory to allow writes by the first device associated with a first software module and reads by the second device associated with a second software module, and creates a second buffer in the shared memory separate from the first buffer to allow writes by the first device associated with the first software module and reads by the third device associated with a third software module. The cross-domain device uses the first buffer to implement a first memory-based communication link between the first software module and the second software module, and uses the second buffer to implement a second memory-based communication link between the first software module and the third software module.

  • Patent number: 12204901
    Abstract: Techniques for operating on an indirect memory access instruction, where the instruction accesses a memory location via at least one indirect address. A pipeline processes the instruction and a memory operation engine generates a first access to the at least one indirect address and a second access to a target address determined by the at least one indirect address. A cache memory used with the pipeline and the memory operation engine caches pointers. In response to a cache hit when executing the indirect memory access instruction, operations dereference a pointer to obtain the at least one indirect address, not set a cache bit, and return data for the instruction without storing the data in the cache memory; and in response to a cache miss, operations set the cache bit, obtain, and store a cache line for a missed pointer, and return data without storing the data in the cache memory.
