  • Application-specific information-processing method, system, and apparatus
    Patent number: 7913261
    Abstract: An information-processing method for application-specific processing of messages. A message is received. Whether the message is in a selected application format is ascertained. If not, the message is routed to a next location. If so, the message is routed to a selected application processor, processed by the processor, and routed to the next location.

  • Direct memory access controller and method therefor
    Patent number: 6418489
    Abstract: Direct memory access controller (DMA) (2) adapted to directly execute C language style FOR tasks, where the FOR task includes a movement of a data element from a first location to a second location in memory, and the movement is controlled by a master DMA engine (MDE) (6). A master DMA engine (MDE) (6) includes a top level state machine (52) to coordinate a context save state machine (54), a parse state machine (56), and a running state machine (58). An loop control descriptor (LCD) queue (74) and a data routing descriptor (DRD) cache store information. The LCD queue allows pipelining of descriptor parsing, while the DRD cache avoids refetching of DRDs on reentry of loops.
