The number of serial steps in the modular reductions are reduced to L, where L serial steps, where w is a digit size in bits, and L is a number of digits of operands=[k/w].

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for implementing delayed decompression schemes. As a burst of packets comprising compressed packets and uncompressed packets are received over an interconnect link, they are buffered in a receive buffer without decompression. Subsequently, the packets are forwarded from the receive buffer to a consumer such as processor core, with the compressed packets being decompressed prior to reaching the processor core. Under a first delayed decompression approach, packets are decompressed when they are read from the receive buffer in conjunction with forwarding the uncompressed packet (or uncompressed data contained therein) to the consumer. Under a second delayed decompression scheme, the packets are read from the receive buffer and forwarded to a decompressor using a first datapath width matching the width of the packets, decompressed, and then forwarded to the consumer using a second datapath width matching the width of the uncompressed data.

The memory controller can optionally provide link encryption. Thus, the system can provide link protection for the data in transit. The memory module can include a link decryption engine that can decrypt link encryption if it is used, and performs a link integrity check with a link integrity tag associated with the link protection.

Abstract: Techniques for real-time updating of encryption keys are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an encrypted link is established between a local and remote processor over a point-to-point interconnect. The encrypted link is operated for some time until the encryption key should be updated. The local processor sends a key update message to the remote processor notifying the remote processor of the change. The remote processor prepares for the change and sends a key update confirmation message to the local processor. The local processor then sends a key switch message to the remote processor. The local processor pauses transmission of encrypted message while the remote processor completes use of the encrypted message. After a pause, the local processor continues sending encrypted messages with the updated encryption key.
