  • Instruction pre-fetching
    Patent number: 10120712
    Abstract: Pre-fetching instructions for tasks of an operating system (OS) is provided by calling a task scheduler that determines a load start time for a set of instructions for a particular task corresponding to a task switch condition. The OS calls, and in response to the load start time, a loader entity module that generates a pre-fetch request that loads the set of instructions for the particular task from a non-volatile memory circuit into a random access memory circuit. The OS calls the task scheduler to switch to the particular task.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for network streaming
    Patent number: 9485333
    Abstract: A method of data streaming in a streaming system (200) that comprises a processor (202) and a controller (204) operably coupled to a streaming peripheral (214) via a shared interconnect (206) is described. The method comprises at the controller, receiving at least one descriptor that points to at least one header data element in memory and at least one payload buffer element in the streaming peripheral (214); reading the at least one descriptor (211) by the controller (204); fetching by the controller the at least one header data element from memory and the at least one payload element from the payload buffer (212) in the streaming peripheral (214) referred to by the descriptor (211).
