  • Patent number: 8463969
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements to extend message signal interrupt (MSI) transactions with additional data to reduce the latency associated with servicing interrupts included in the transactions are contemplated. Some embodiments may comprise a chipset that transmits the MSI to a processor to service the interrupt. The chipset may identify that a transaction is an extended MSI transaction by determining that the MSI has more than a four bytes. In several embodiments, the chipset may validate the MSI by determining that the MSI comprises at least six bytes and, in further embodiments, by determining that the extended MSI has a valid signature byte. Another embodiment comprises a processor to receive the extended MSI transaction and store the data to service the corresponding interrupt(s) in a low latency buffer. The processor may then service the interrupt(s) based upon the data when the processor becomes available.

  • Patent number: 8205019
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing Direct Memory Access (DMA) transfers of sets of data and results of performing logical operations on the sets of data are disclosed. In one aspect, a method may include receiving a data structure that specifies DMA transfers of sets of data and a DMA transfer of a logical operation, such as an exclusive OR, on the sets of data. In response to receiving the data structure, the DMA transfers of the sets of data, and the DMA transfer of the logical operation performed on the sets of data may be performed.

  • Patent number: 7606954
    Abstract: A write request is received from a host, to write data from memory to storage. The request indicates whether or not to compress the data. The data is either compressed or not compressed, as indicated by the request, prior to sending the data to the storage. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7584328
    Abstract: A discussion of a local memory with at least a command block section and a cache section that facilitates an efficient interrupt processing. The command-block section is allocated on a per interrupt basis and contains pointers to cache-lines. When an interrupt is recognized an interrupt, the proposal uses the pointers in the command-block to prefetch the corresponding cache-lines from the cache section of the local memory, which it loads into its local cache buffer. Thus, when the CPU recognizes an interrupt, the information for the context-switch is already available in cache.

  • Patent number: 7310451
    Abstract: A method includes providing a display device. The display device may include a plurality of picture elements and a plurality of pixel drivers each for driving a respective one of the picture elements. The method may further include receiving input image data to drive the picture elements to display an image in an image plane. The method may also include receiving user input to indicate a shift in position of the image in the image plane. The shift in position may be by less than the distance between adjacent picture elements. In response to the user input, the input image data may be processed to generate interpolated image data to implement the shift in position. The picture elements may be driven with the interpolated image data.
