A computational system includes one or more processors. Each processor has multiple registers, as well attached memory to hold instructions. The processor is coupled to one or more broadside interfaces. A broadside interface allows the processor to load or store an entire widget state in a single clock cycle of the processor. The broadside interface also allows the processor to move and store 32 bytes of information into RAM in less than four to five clock cycles of the processor while the processor concurrently performs one or more mathematical operations on the information while the move and store operation is taking place.

A router device may receive, from a user device, a request for access to a file. The router device may determine that a cached version of the file is stored in a first data structure associated with the router device. The router device may communicate with a server device to determine whether the cached version of the file is current. The server device may be associated with a second data structure that stores a master version of the file. The router device may generate a copy of the cached version of the file based on communicating with the server device. The router device may send the copy of the cached version of the file to the user device.

A method for identifying, in a system including two or more computing devices that are able to communicate with each other, with each computing device having with a cache and connected to a corresponding memory, a computing device accessing one of the memories, includes monitoring memory access to any of the memories; monitoring cache coherency commands between computing devices; and identifying the computing device accessing one of the memories by using information related to the memory access and cache coherency commands.

A device for writing data to a memory, the device including: a first write buffer having a first data width that matches a width of write data included in a write request and wherein the first write buffer is configured to store the write data as first data; a second write buffer having a second data width that matches a data width of the memory and is greater than the first data width; and a controller configured to, based on a write address included in the write request and an address of the second data stored in the second write buffer, write the first data stored in the first write buffer to the second write buffer and write the second data stored in the second write buffer to the memory.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) receiving, from an external host processor via a cache-coherent interconnect, a request to access a host address of a coherent memory space of the external host processor, (2) when the request is to read data from the host address, (a) performing an in-line transformation on the data to generate second data and (b) writing the second data to the physical address of the device-attached physical memory mapped to the host address, and (3) when the request is to read data from the host address, (a) reading the data from the physical address of the device-attached physical memory mapped to the host address, (b) performing a reversing in-line transformation on the data to generate second data, and (c) returning the second data to the external host processor via the cache-coherent interconnect. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Memory descriptor list caching and pipeline processing techniques are described. In one or more examples, a method is configured to increase efficiency of buffer usage within a pipeline of a computing device. The method includes creation of a buffer in memory of the computing device and caching of a memory descriptor list by the computing device that describes the buffer in a buffer information cache and has associated therewith a handle that acts as a lookup to the memory descriptor list. The method also includes passing the handle through the pipeline of the computing device for processing of data within the buffer by one or more stages of the pipeline such that access to the data is obtained by the one or more stages by using the handle as the lookup as part of a call to obtain the memory descriptor list for the buffer from the buffer information cache.

A memory system having an interconnect configured to receive commands from a system to read data from and/or write data to a memory device. The memory system also has a bridge configured to receive the commands from the interconnect, to manage ECC data and to perform address translation between system addresses and physical memory device addresses by calculating a first ECC memory address for a first ECC data block that is after and adjacent to a first data block having a first data address, calculating a second ECC memory address that is after and adjacent to the first ECC block, and calculating a second data address that is after and adjacent to the second ECC block. The bridge may also check and calculate ECC data for a complete burst of data, and/or cache ECC data for a complete burst of data that includes read and/or write data.

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.

A router device may receive a request for access to a file from a user device, wherein a master version of the file is stored in a data structure associated with a server device. The router device may generate, based on the request, a copy of a cached version of the file, wherein the cached version of the file is stored in a data structure associated with the router device. The router device may send the copy of the cached version of the file to the user device.
