FRAME SCHEDULING BASED ON AN ESTIMATED DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS (DMA) LATENCY AND APPARATUS FOR TIME AWARE FRAME SCHEDULING

A network station scheduling a frame to be transmitted by a transmitter of the network station at a transmit time. The transmit time is based on a first clock. A request is then issued to a direct memory access (DMA) circuit to retrieve the frame from a system memory. An advance time offset associated with the first clock is determined based on an estimated DMA latency of the DMA circuit. A frame retrieved by the DMA circuit is provided to a staging circuit. When a time of a second clock reaches the transmit time of the frame in the staging circuit, the frame is transmitted at the transmit time. In an example, a time of the first clock is ahead of a time of the second clock by the advance time offset.

REDUCING LATENCY FOR MEMORY OPERATIONS IN A MEMORY CONTROLLER
20230019931 · 2023-01-19 ·

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory controllers, devices, and machine-readable mediums which minimize this stall time by returning a memory write acknowledgement once a write command has been selected by the memory controller input multiplexor rather than when the memory write command has been performed. Because the memory controller enforces an ordering to memory once the packet has been selected at an input multiplexor, ordering of prior and subsequent requests to the same address location are preserved and providing the response early allows the processor to continue its operations earlier without any harmful effects.
