20140372641 | Selectively Transparent Bridge for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Bus Systems - A selectively transparent bridge facilitates a PCI device presenting itself to the host as a PCI-to-PCI bridge but selectively hiding and isolating hardware from the host bus. PCI configuration may be achieved through the standard PCI Express configuration mechanisms, but instead of configuring devices directly, a configuration processor in the selectively transparent bridge may intercept the configuration packets from the host, and create a virtual configuration to alter how the bus topology appears to the host. Devices are selectively hidden and managed by the configuration processor, resulting in simplified complexity and bus depth. Since the selectively transparent bridge appears to the host as a transparent bridge, no special drivers or resource preallocations are required, although the selectively transparent bridge fully supports special drivers and/or resource preallocations. Devices located/connected downstream of the bridge may therefore function with unmodified drivers. | 12-18-2014 |
20140372657 | Hidden Base Address Register Programming in Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Buses - A mapping and correspondence may be established between a virtual topology and a physical topology of a PCIe subsystem, and a host may be presented with the virtual topology but not the actual physical topology. A semi transparent bridge may couple an upstream host to the PCIe subsystem that includes intermediary bridges and respective PCIe endpoints coupled downstream from the intermediary bridges. The intermediary bridges may be hidden from the host, while the respective PCIe endpoints may be visible to the host. A configuration block may provide to the upstream host, during a setup mode, first memory allocation information corresponding to the intermediary switches, responsive to the upstream host expecting second memory allocation information corresponding to the respective PCIe endpoints. The configuration block may then provide to the upstream host, during a runtime mode, the second memory allocation information, responsive to the upstream host expecting the second memory allocation information. | 12-18-2014 |
20140372660 | Packet Routing Based on Packet Type in Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Bus Systems - A PCIe subsystem may be coupled to a host by a system extender adapted to perform PCIe packet routing based on packet type. A first TLP (transport layer packet) type router may receive PCIe packets, and selectively route the PCIe packets according to the type of the packet through a corresponding path of at least two alternate paths. A second TLP type router may receive the routed packet through a first path if the PCIe packet was routed through the first path, and may receive the routed packet through a second path if the routed packet was routed through the second path. A non transparent bridge may be coupled between the first TLP type router block and the second TLP type router block along the second path, while the first path may be a pass-through path from the first TLP type router block to the second TLP type router block. | 12-18-2014 |
20140372741 | Opaque Bridge for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Bus Systems - A host system may couple to a PCIe subsystem. During setup of the PCIe subsystem, the BIOS in the host system may first be informed that the devices to be coupled are not PCIe devices, and certain amount of memory is required for these devices. The BIOS may therefore not attempt to configure the devices, and may instead allocate the required memory space. When the operating system boots up, it may not attempt to configure the devices, loading a custom driver instead of an existing PCI driver to configure the bus. Once loaded, the custom driver may configure the devices, then inform the OS that there are PCIe devices in the system at the specified addresses, which may cause the OS to load and execute existing PCIe device drivers to operate/use the devices. The proprietary driver may also be used to handle traffic between the PCIe drivers and the OS. | 12-18-2014 |
20150161068 | Address Range Decomposition - Smart bridge and use. The smart bridge includes a functional unit, memory, and a switch for routing data between a host and multiple devices using a routing table. The bridge stores a forwarding address range (FAR) as a bridge representation of hardware memory resources required by the devices. The FAR is an integer multiple of a first specified minimum size and is aligned with the first specified minimum size. The bridge representation is converted to an endpoint representation that includes multiple virtual memory resources based on a starting address of the FAR. Each virtual memory resource has a respective sub-address range with a size that is a power of 2 multiple of a second specified minimum size, which is less than the first specified minimum size, and is aligned accordingly. The endpoint representation is usable by the switch or the host to allocate the virtual memory resources to the devices. | 06-11-2015 |

20090044113 | Creating a Customized Avatar that Reflects a User's Distinguishable Attributes - A capture system captures detectable attributes of a user. A differential system compares the detectable attributes with a normalized model of attributes, wherein the normalized model of attributes characterize normal representative attribute values across a sample of a plurality of users and generates differential attributes representing the differences between the detectable attributes and the normalized model of attributes. Multiple separate avatar creator systems receive the differential attributes and each apply the differential attributes to different base avatars to create custom avatars which reflect a selection of the detectable attributes of the user which are distinguishable from the normalized model of attributes. | 02-12-2009 |
20100287352 | VIRTUAL MACHINE TOOL INTERFACE FOR TRACKING OBJECTS - Disclosed is a method and computer program product to track allocation of a plurality of objects in a heap.

The data processing system prevents such activity concurrently with garbage collection on a second object not currently being allocated. The data processing system notifies a profiler of object information based on the object allocation via a callback function, wherein object information is a one-to-one mapping of the object address. The data processing system revives garbage collector processing of the object. | 11-11-2010 |
20110307640 | CALL STACK SAMPLING WITH LIGHTWEIGHT THREAD MIGRATION PREVENTION - A sample is generated based on an event. Further, an interrupt handler captures information for an interrupted thread on a current processor.
