20140376566 | 128 Gigabit Fibre Channel Physical Architecture - The PCS and FEC layers are combined into a single layer and the number of lanes is set at four lanes. The combination allows removal of many modules as compared to a serial arrangement of a PCS layer and an FEC layer. The reduction in the number of lanes, as compared to 100 Gbps Ethernet, provides a further simplification or cost reduction by further reducing the needed gates of an ASIC to perform the functions. Changing the lanes in the FEC layer necessitates changing the alignment marker structure. In the preferred embodiment a lane zero marker is used as the first alignment marker in each lane to allow rapid sync. A second alignment marker indicating the particular lane follows the first alignment marker. | 12-25-2014 |

If the ports are configured for 128 Gbps only operation and at least one lane does not negotiate to 32 Gbps or fails training, the link is not activated and none of the lanes are activated. If the ports are configured to do either 128 Gbps or independent operation and at least one lane cannot operate at 128 Gbps, then the lanes operate independently at the negotiated and trained speed. If the lanes are configured for only independent operation the transceiver develops independent links as negotiated. | 04-09-2015 |

20150130805 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ANTI-ALIASING SHADING DECOUPLED FROM RASTERIZATION - A method and system for rendering a graphic object is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of points of a graphic object for shading. At least one shading parameter is determined for application to the selected set of points of the graphic object. A shading parameter image is precalculated based on the determined at least one shading parameter. The shading parameter image is stored in a memory. The selected points are shaded using the shading parameter image to produce a shaded graphic object image via a graphic processor. The shaded graphic object image is rasterized into a frame image. | 05-14-2015 |
20150135183 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF A HIERARCHICAL TASK SCHEDULER FOR A MULTI-THREAD SYSTEM - A method for scheduling tasks from a program executed by a multi-processor core system is disclosed. The method includes a scheduler that groups a plurality of tasks, each having an assigned priority, by priority in a task group. The task group is assembled with other task groups having identical priorities in a task group queue. A hierarchy of task group queues is established based on priority levels of the assigned tasks. Task groups are assigned to one of a plurality of worker threads based on the hierarchy of task group queues. Each of the worker threads is associated with a processor in the multi-processor system. The tasks of the task groups are executed via the worker threads according to the order in the hierarchy. | 05-14-2015 |
20150199277 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION AND COMMAND SYSTEM FOR DEFERRED OPERATION - A method and system for efficiently executing a delegate of a program by a processor coupled to an external memory. A payload including state data or command data is bound with a program delegate. The payload is mapped with the delegate via the payload identifier. The payload is pushed to a repository buffer in the external memory. The payload is flushed by reading the payload identifier and loading the payload from the repository buffer. The delegate is executed using the loaded payload. | 07-16-2015 |
