Patent number: 8868809Abstract: Described embodiments provide a media controller for servicing contexts corresponding to data transfer requests from host devices. The media controller includes a context generator for generating contexts corresponding to the data transfer requests and a buffer for storing one or more context pointers, each pointer corresponding to a context and an action by a system module associated with the context. A context processor is configured to complete a context when the action by a media controller module associated with the context is complete, remove each pointer from the buffer associated with the completed context, and determine whether an interrupt corresponds to the completed context and removed pointer. If no interrupt corresponds to the completed context, the completed context is cleared. If an interrupt corresponds to the completed context, the interrupt is provided to a master processor and a completed context recycler for recycling the completed context pointer to the context generator.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: David R. Noeldner, Michael Bratvold, Paul H. Smith

Patent number: 8352689Abstract: Described embodiments provide a method of allocating resources of a media controller for a data transfer. A data transfer request is received from at least one host device, and includes a host device ID and a data transfer request ID. The media controller generates a Tag ID of the data transfer request based on the host device ID and the data transfer request ID, and generates a starting memory address of a tag table based on the Tag ID of the data transfer request. A tag count value is read from the starting memory address of the tag table. If the tag count value reaches a threshold, an absence of a tag overlap is determined and the Tag ID of the data transfer request is added to the tag table at the starting memory address.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: David R. Noeldner, Michael Bratvold, Paul H. Smith

Patent number: 8296480Abstract: Described embodiments provide a media controller for processing one or more data transfer requests received from at least one host device. The media controller includes a buffer to receive data of a data transfer request from a communication link and a command parser to generate one or more contexts corresponding to the data transfer request. The one or more contexts are stored in the buffer. At least one queue of the media controller includes a regular context queue for queuing regular-priority contexts, and a high-priority context queue for queuing high-priority contexts. A context manager coordinates processing of regular-priority contexts and high-priority contexts of the at least one queue based on context boundaries, wherein, when a context is processed at a context boundary, data corresponding to the processed context is data is transferred between the communication link and at least one of the buffer and the at least one storage media.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: David R.
