Olivier Sauvage has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and apparatus for interfacing multiple dies with mapping to modify source identity
    Patent number: 8521937
    Abstract: A package includes a die and at least one further die. The die has an interface configured to receive a transaction request from the further die via an interconnect and to transmit a response to the transaction request to said further die via the interconnect. The die also has mapping circuitry which is configured to receive the transaction request including at least first source identity information, wherein the first source identity information is associated with a source of the transaction request on the further die. The mapping circuitry is configured to modify the transaction request to replace the first source identity information with local source identity information, wherein that local source identity information is associated with the mapping circuitry. The mapping circuitry is configured to modify the received transaction request to provide said first source identity information in a further field.

  • Method and apparatus for interfacing multiple dies with mapping for source identifier allocation
    Patent number: 8347258
    Abstract: A package includes a die and at least one further die. The die has an interface configured to receive a transaction request from the further die via an interconnect and to transmit a response to the transaction request to said further die via the interconnect. The die also has mapping circuitry which is configured to allocate to the received transaction a local source identity information as source identity information, the local source identity information comprising one of a set of reusable local source identity information. This ensures the order of transactions tagged with a same original source identity and target and allows transactions tagged with different source identifiers to be processed out of order.
