A transaction accelerator may be connected between at least one host device and a bus, and a method of operating the transaction accelerator may include receiving a first transaction request from the at least one host device, transmitting the first transaction request to the bus, and transmitting a first transaction response corresponding to the first transaction request to the at least one host device, in response to the transmitting the first transaction request to the bus.

Bus system permitting parallel access by a master to a plurality of slaves and method of controlling the same

A bus system comprises a master, a first slave, a second slave, and a bus. The master is configured to be able to issue a second request to the second slave after issuing a first request to the first slave and before receiving a response to the first request. The bus comprises: a determination unit configured to, upon receiving the second request, determine whether to permit a transfer of the second request to the second slave; and a suspending unit configured to suspend the transfer of the second request to the second slave while it is determined by the determination unit that the transfer is not permitted. The determination unit determines whether or not the transfer is permitted based on a notification from the first slave regarding processing of the first request.

Method, apparatus, system for early page granular hints from a PCIe device

Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems and methods for providing and using hints in data packets to perform memory transaction optimization processes prior to receiving one or more data packets that rely on memory transactions. The systems and methods can include receiving, from a device connected to the root complex across a PCIe-compliant link, a data packet; identifying from the received device a memory transaction hint bit; determining a memory transaction from the memory transaction hint bit; and performing an optimization process based, at least in part, on the determined memory transaction.

PERIPHERAL COMPONENT HANDLING OF MEMORY READ REQUESTS

Peripheral components, data processing systems and methods of operating such peripheral components and data processing systems are disclosed. The systems comprise an interconnect comprising a system cache, a peripheral component coupled to the interconnect, and a memory coupled to the interconnect. The peripheral component has a memory access request queue for queuing memory access requests in a receipt order. Memory access requests are issued to the interconnect in the receipt order. A memory read request is not issued to the interconnect until a completion response for all older memory write requests has been received from the interconnect. The peripheral component is responsive to receipt of a memory read request to issue a memory read prefetch request comprising a physical address to the interconnect and the interconnect is responsive to the memory read prefetch request to cause data associated with the physical address in the memory to be cached in the system cache.

Technologies for dynamically managing resources in disaggregated accelerators

Technologies for dynamically managing resources in disaggregated accelerators include an accelerator. The accelerator includes acceleration circuitry with multiple logic portions, each capable of executing a different workload.
