Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for facilitating communication and memory transfer between PCIe devices that permit access to an entire address space even though a limited address space is exposed and/or visible via the PCIe BAR registers. To this end, the present disclosure aims to permit memory transfer of large blocks of memory from one device to another including memory invisible to the system (i.e. not exposed via PCIe BAR registers). For example, in some embodiments, a data packet may be received at a port associated with a processor interconnect. The data packet includes a header which contains a first address associated with the port. In response to identifying the first address from the first data packet at the port, the data packet is decoded. During the decoding process, a second address is identified in a payload of the data packet.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processor core to graphics processor scheduling and execution is disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a general purpose processor configured to execute instructions from a first instruction set and a graphic processing unit (GPU) configured to execute instructions from a second instruction set. The apparatus also includes a microcode unit configured to store microcode instructions that, when executed by the general purpose processor core, generate translated instructions, wherein the translated instructions are generated by translating selected instructions from the first instruction set translated into instructions of the second instruction set. The general purpose processor is configured to, responsive to performing a translation, pass the translated instructions to the GPU. The GPU is configured to execute the translated instructions and pass corresponding results back to the general purpose processor.

Abstract: To provide for the processing of priority data elements between a host processor and a co-processor that exchange such data elements using a queue, the host processor determines a priority of a data element received from an application. If the priority is higher than a lowest possible priority value, at least one lower priority data element within the queue may be identified and modified thereby temporarily removing it from the queue. When the priority data element is written into the queue a query packet is included that will cause the co-processor to return information regarding a last executed queued data element. Based on the returned information, the host processor can determine one or more unmodified data elements (uniquely corresponding to the one or more modified queued data elements) to be written into the queue in accordance with a sequence of the previously modified queued data elements.
