  • Publication number: 20200004703
    Abstract: Systems and devices can include a controller and a command queue to buffer incoming write requests into the device. The controller can receive, from a client across a link, a non-posted write request (e.g., a deferred memory write (DMWr) request) in a transaction layer packet (TLP) to the command queue; determine that the command queue can accept the DMWr request; identify, from the TLP, a successful completion (SC) message that indicates that the DMWr request was accepted into the command queue; and transmit, to the client across the link, the SC message that indicates that the DMWr request was accepted into the command queue. The controller can receive a second DMWr request in a second TLP; determine that the command queue is full; and transmit a memory request retry status (MRS) message to be transmitted to the client in response to the command queue being full.

  • Patent number: 10445271
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods implementing a hardware queue management device for reducing inter-core data transfer overhead by offloading request management and data coherency tasks from the CPU cores. The apparatus include multi-core processors, a shared L3 or last-level cache (“LLC”), and a hardware queue management device to receive, store, and process inter-core data transfer requests. The hardware queue management device further comprises a resource management system to control the rate in which the cores may submit requests to reduce core stalls and dropped requests. Additionally, software instructions are introduced to optimize communication between the cores and the queue management device.

  • Publication number: 20190243761
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to remote atomic operations (RAO) in multi-socket systems. In one example, a method, performed by a cache control circuit of a requester socket, includes: receiving the RAO instruction from the requester CPU core, determining a home agent in a home socket for the addressed cache line, providing a request for ownership (RFO) of the addressed cache line to the home agent, waiting for the home agent to either invalidate and retrieve a latest copy of the addressed cache line from a cache, or to fetch the addressed cache line from memory, receiving an acknowledgement and the addressed cache line, executing the RAO instruction on the received cache line atomically, subsequently receiving multiple local RAO instructions to the addressed cache line from one or more requester CPU cores, and executing the multiple local RAO instructions on the received cache line independently of the home agent.
