  • Multi-purpose WAN driver for DSP resource adapter
    Patent number: 6549945
    Abstract: A communication system (100) includes at least one digital signal processor (DSP) and a WAN driver (80) operating on a processor that is electrically coupled to a memory. The WAN driver (80) receives task allocation requests from a host to open/close communication channels that are handled by the at least one DSP. Each task is allocated to one of the at least one DSP according to a total current task processing load for each of the at least one DSP, a maximum processing capability for each of the at least one DSP, and a processing requirement for each task being allocated to the one of the at least one DSP that can handle the additional processing load of the task being allocated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 1999
    Date of Patent: April 15, 2003
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: John C. Sinibaldi, Himanshu Parikh, Veerbhadra S. Kulkarni, David A. Frye, Gary L Turbeville
  • Adaptive method and apparatus for allocation of DSP resources in a communication system
    Patent number: 6338130
    Abstract: A communication system (100) includes at least one digital signal processor (DSP) and a WAN driver (80) operating on a processor that is electrically coupled to a memory. The WAN driver (80) receives task allocation requests from a host to open/close communication channels that are handled by the at least one DSP. Each task is allocated to one of the at least one DSP according to a total current task processing load for each of the at least one DSP, a maximum processing capability for each of the at least one DSP, and a processing requirement for each task being allocated to the one of the at least one DSP that can handle the additional processing load of the task being allocated. A configuration controller (92) keeps track of the MIPs processing requirement of each task available for allocation across the plurality of DSPs and the maximum processing capability of each DSP of the plurality of DSPs in response to changes in configuration of the communication system (100).
