20130060985 | DEVICE CAPABLE OF ADOPTING AN EXTERNAL MEMORY - A device includes a memory controller, a memory bus coupled to the memory controller, an internal memory and an external memory connection unit. The internal memory may be directly connected to the memory controller through the memory bus. The external memory connection unit may connect an external memory directly to the memory controller through a portion of signal lines in the memory bus, and may generate a flag signal indicating whether the external memory is connected to the external memory connection unit. | 2013-03-07 |
20130060986 | INTEGRATED LINK CALIBRATION AND MULTI-PROCESSOR TOPOLOGY DISCOVERY - Integrating link calibration and dynamic topology discovery in a multi-processor system establishes a first of a plurality of processors in the multi-processor system as a director of integrated link calibration and dynamic topology discovery. A plurality of high speed interconnects connects the plurality of processors with each other. The director processor directs calibration of each of the plurality of high speed interconnects via a shared hardware resource. The shared hardware resource is shared among the plurality of processors. Topology of the multi-processor system is incrementally discovered as each of the plurality of high speed interconnects is calibrated based on a result of each of the plurality of high speed interconnects being calibrated. | 2013-03-07 |
20130060987 | System and Method to Correlate Errors to a Specific Downstream Device in a PCIe Switching Network - A Peripheral Component Interconnect-Express (PCIe) port includes a PCIe link, a pending transaction counter, and an error status register. The PCIe port operates to issue a transaction on the PCIe link, determine that an endpoint device has become uncoupled from the PCIe link after issuing the first transaction, determine that a value stored in the pending transaction counter is not equal to zero in response to determining that the endpoint device has become uncoupled, and set an error bit in the error status register in response to determining that the first value is not equal to zero. | 2013-03-07 |
