Abstract: In one embodiment, an input/output port includes a stateful transmit port having: a history storage to store a value corresponding to a transmit on change field of a prior data packet; a comparator to compare a transmit on change field of the data packet to the value stored in the history storage; and a selection circuit to output the data packet without the transmit on change field when the transmit on change field of the data packet matches the value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an accelerator controller hub (ACH). The ACH may be a stand-alone component or integrated on-die or on package in an accelerator such as a GPU. The ACH may include a host device link (HDL) interface, one or more Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interfaces, one or more high performance accelerator link (HPAL) interfaces, and a router, operatively coupled to each of the HDL interface, the one or more PCIe interfaces, and the one or more HPAL interfaces. The HDL interface is configured to be coupled to a host CPU via an HDL link and the one or more HPAL interfaces are configured to be coupled to one or more HPALs that are used to access high performance accelerator fabrics (HPAFs) such as NVlink fabrics and CCIX (Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators) fabrics. Platforms including ACHs or accelerators with integrated ACHs support RDMA transfers using RDMA semantics to enable transfers between accelerator memory on initiators and targets without CPU involvement.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for PASID-based routing extension for Scalable IOV systems. The system may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU) operatively coupled to a scalable Input/Output Virtualization (IOV) device via an in-line device such as a smart controller or accelerator. A Control Process Address Space Identifier (C-PASID) associated with a first memory space is implemented in an Assignable Device Interface (ADI) for the IOV device. The ADI also implements a Data PASID (D-PASID) associated with a second memory space in which data are stored. The C-PASID is used to fetch a descriptor in the first memory space and the D-PASID is employed to fetch data in the second memory space. A hub embedded on the in-line device or implemented as a discrete device is used to steer memory access requests and/or fetches to the CPU or to the in-line device using the C-PASID and D-PASID.

Each of the accelerator units includes virtual-to-physical address translation circuitry and migration circuitry. The virtual-to-physical address translation circuitry in each accelerator unit includes pages for each of at least some of the plurality of accelerator units.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide user-level access authorization for cloud-based filed-programmable gate arrays are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) including a first memory and a second memory different from the first memory. The first memory stores a bitstream. The second memory stores a first user tag associated with the bitstream. The example apparatus further includes a kernel having an FPGA driver operatively coupled to the FPGA. The FPGA driver is to receive a command associated with accessing the FPGA from a user-executed application. The FPGA driver is further to identify a second user tag associated with the command. The FPGA driver is further to determine whether the command is to be accepted based on the second user tag.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a host processor coupled to a programmable acceleration coprocessor. The coprocessor may include logic for implementing a physical function and multiple associated virtual functions. The coprocessor may include a static programmable resource interface circuit (PIC) configured to perform management functions and one or more partial reconfiguration regions, each of which can be loaded with an accelerator function unit (AFU). An AFU may further be partitioned into AFU contexts (AFCs), each of which can be mapped to one of the virtual functions. The PIC enables hardware discovery/enumeration and loading of device drivers such that security isolation and interface performance are maintained.
