20130097343 | ARRANGEMENT, METHOD, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND DEVICE FOR ROUTING REQUESTS - A request routing circuit includes m inputs for receiving m input request signals and n outputs for outputting a set of n output request signals. A routing subsystem within the request routing circuit is provided between the m inputs and the n outputs and comprises k inputs and n outputs, where m is greater than k, and where the routing subsystem is configured to operate over a plurality (m/k, rounded up to the next integer) of cycles to provide the set of n output request signals based on the m inputs to the n outputs. | 2013-04-18 |
20130097344 | Circuit with memory and support for host accesses of storage drive memory - A circuit including a first memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive data from a host device and transfer the data from the circuit to a storage drive. The processor is configured to receive the data back from the storage drive when a second memory in the storage drive does not have available space for the data, and prior to the data being transferred from the second memory to a third memory in the storage drive. The processor is configured to: store the data received from the storage drive in the first memory or transfer the data received from the storage drive back to the host device; and based on a request received from the storage drive, transfer the data from the first memory or the host device back to the storage drive. The request indicates that space is available in the second memory for the data. | 2013-04-18 |
20130097345 | ADDRESS LEARNING AND AGING FOR NETWORK BRIDGING IN A NETWORK PROCESSOR - Described embodiments process data packets received that include a source address and at least one destination address. If the destination address is stored in a memory of an I/O adapter, the received data packet is processed in accordance with bridging rules associated with each destination address stored in the I/O adapter memory. If the destination address is not stored in the I/O adapter memory, the I/O adapter sends a task message to a processor to determine whether the destination address is stored in an address table stored in a shared memory of the network processor. The I/O adapter memory has lower access latency than the address table. If the destination address is stored in the address table, the received data packet is processed in accordance with bridging rules stored in the address table and the bridging rules stored in the I/O adapter memory are updated. | 2013-04-18 |
20130097346 | STORAGE DEVICE AND CONNECTING SEAT FOR CONNECTING THE SAME TO HOST - Provided herein are a storage device and a connecting seat for connecting the storage device to a host. More particularly, the storage device and the connecting seat may be used to transmit at least one SATA protocol data. The storage device comprises a PATA interface connector. The connecting seat is a PATA interface connecting seat that can be installed on a circuit board. A plurality of pins of the connector/connecting seat are defined to be in the true IDE mode and a plurality of pins of the connector/connecting seat are defined to be in the non-true IDE mode. The storage device and the circuit board with the connecting seat thereon communicate through the pins of the connector/connecting seat in the non-true IDE mode. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the storage device or the host is lowered and the convenience is enhanced. | 2013-04-18 |
20130097347 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN DEVICES CONNECTED VIA A BUS DEFINING A TIME SLOT DURING TRANSMISSION FOR RESPONSIVE OUTPUT INFORMATION FROM BUS DEVICES - Techniques and devices for transmitting data and information via a bus are provided. According to these techniques, data is transmitted in units or frames together with information that is required or useful for one or more of the transmission and the use of the data. If desired, at least some of the units or frames include a time slot within which freely selectable devices can output onto the bus data representing freely selectable information at freely selectable points in time. | 2013-04-18 |
