  • Methods and apparatuses for flushing write-combined data from a buffer
    Patent number: 8468278
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for flushing write-combined data from a buffer within a memory to an input/output (I/O) device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2013
    Assignee: Intel Corporation

  • Maximal length packets
    Patent number: 7500029
    Abstract: Detecting and flushing maximal length packets is set forth herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a flushing event and, in response to the flushing event, repeatedly detecting a maximum length packet of write data from a write combining storage area and flushing the detected maximum length packet to a target input/output (I/O) device over a bus. Each maximal length packet is a packet of maximum payload of write data that can be formulated within in the write combining storage area while adhering to packet protocol rules for the bus.

  • Methodology and apparatus for implementing write combining
    Patent number: 7353301
    Abstract: Write-combining in a computer system that uses a push model is set forth herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises creating one or more packets having a descriptor and the data associated with detected write transactions stored in the buffer assigned to a write-combinable range in response to a flush request to flush the buffer, and sending (pushing) these packets to the network I/O device.
