Abstract: A method for accelerating execution of read operations in a distributed interconnect peripheral bus, the distributed interconnect peripheral bus is coupled to a host controller being connected to a universal serial bus (USB) device. The method comprises synchronizing on at least one ring assigned to the USB device; pre-fetching transfer request blocks (TRBs) maintained in the at least one ring, wherein the TRBs are saved in a host memory; saving the pre-fetched TRBs in an internal cache memory; upon reception of a TRB read request from the host controller, serving the request by transferring the requested TRB from the internal cache memory to the host controller; and sending a TRB read completion message to the host controller.

Abstract: A method for accelerating execution of read operations in a distributed interconnect peripheral bus is provided. The method comprises generating a first number of speculative read requests addressed to an address space related to a last read request served on the bus; sending the speculative read requests to a root component connected to the bus; receiving a second number of read completion messages from the root component of the bus; and sending a read completion message out of the received read completion messages component to the endpoint component only if the read completion message is respective of a real read request or a valid speculative read request out of the speculative read requests, wherein a real read request is issued by the endpoint component.
