A data processing system includes a host and an accelerator. The host transmits, to the accelerator, input data together with data identification information based on a data classification criterion. The accelerator classifies the input data as any one of feature data, a parameter, and a bias based on the data identification information when the input data is received from the host, distributes the input data, performs pre-processing on the feature data, and outputs computed result data to the host or feeds the result data back so that computation processing is performed on the result data again.

DATA BUS BRIDGE

An electronic device comprises a bridge configured to transfer data bus transactions from a transaction source domain having a first bus width to a transaction target domain having a second bus width less than the first bus width. The bridge comprises a first interface configured to receive a transaction from the transaction source domain, where the transaction has a first transaction burst length. A converter logic is configured such that when a transaction is received via the first interface, the converter logic splits the transaction into a plurality of second transactions each having a respective second transaction burst length, wherein the plurality of second transactions have the second bus width. A second interface is configured to send the plurality of second transactions to the transaction target domain.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY MECHANISMS FOR INPUT/OUTPUT (IO) CELLS

Data retrieved from a portion of a device is obtained at a transmission buffer through an input/output (IO) cell of the device. The data is provided from the transmission buffer to a receiving buffer through the IO cell. The data is obtained from the receiving buffer. Responsive to a detection of a first mismatch between the data retrieved from the portion of the device and the data obtained from the receiving buffer, a fault is determined to have occurred at one or more of the transmission buffer or the receiving buffer.

SYSTEM EVENT BROADCAST SYNCHRONIZATION ACROSS HIERARCHICAL INTERFACES

Aspects of the invention include computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products that assign a centralized event tag to each communication interface of a plurality of communication interfaces of a chip interconnected in a hierarchy through the communication interfaces to a plurality of chips in a multiprocessing system. A determination is performed of whether to accept or drop a message associated with an event received at one of the communication interfaces of the chip based on comparing a local centralized event tag with a received centralized event tag. The local centralized event tag is updated based on one or more advancing rules to maintain event synchronization between the chip and the plurality of chips.

TECHNIQUES FOR CONFIGURING ENDPOINTS WITHIN A USB EXTENSION ENVIRONMENT

In providing USB communication functionality over a non-USB-compliant extension medium, increased latency and processing delays may be introduced, including during configuration of endpoints. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an upstream facing port device (UFP device) and a downstream facing port device (DFP device) are used to extend USB communication across an extension medium. In some embodiments, the UFP device extracts information from packets sent between a host device and a USB device during configuration of an endpoint. In some embodiments, the UFP device sends a synthetic NRDY packet to the host device in response to a STATUS Transaction Packet to provide the UFP device and DFP device additional time to complete configuration for servicing the endpoint.

Optimizing hardware design throughput by latency aware balancing of re-convergent paths

Embodiments herein describe techniques for preventing a stall when transmitting data between a producer and a consumer in the same integrated circuit (IC). A stall can occur when there is a split point and a convergence point between the producer and consumer. To prevent the stall, the embodiments herein adjust the latencies of one of the paths (or both paths) such that a maximum latency of the shorter path is greater than, or equal to, the minimum latency of the longer path. When this condition is met, this means the shortest path has sufficient buffers (e.g., a sufficient number of FIFOs and registers) to queue/store packets along its length so that a packet can travel along the longer path and reach the convergence point before the buffers in the shortest path are completely full (or just become completely full).
