| 20090019232 | SPECIFICATION OF COHERENCE DOMAIN DURING ADDRESS TRANSLATION - A processing system includes a plurality of coherency domains and a plurality of coherency agents. Each coherency agent is associated with at least one of the plurality of coherency domains. At a select coherency agent of the plurality of coherency agents, an address translation for a coherency message is performed using a first memory address to generate a second memory address. A select coherency domain of the plurality of coherency domains associated with the coherency message is determined at the select coherency agent based on the address translation. The coherency message and a coherency domain identifier of the select coherency domain are provided by the select coherency agent to a coherency interconnect for distribution to at least one of the plurality of coherency agents based on the coherency domain identifier. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100095039 | INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGMENT IN A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM - A data processing system has an interrupt controller which provides an interrupt request along with a corresponding interrupt identifier and a corresponding interrupt vector to a processor. If the processor accepts the interrupt, the processor returns the same interrupt identifier value by way of interrupt identifier, along with interrupt acknowledge, to the interrupt controller. An interrupt taken/not taken indicator may also be provided. The communications interface used to coordinate interrupt processing between the interrupt controller and the processor may be asynchronous. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100325327 | PROGRAMMABLE ARBITRATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR - A system includes a plurality of sources to provide information access requests. An arbiter includes an assignment module to associate a first access request from the first source to one of the plurality of arbitration slots based upon assignment information at a storage location, and a dispatch module to determine one request of a plurality of requests received at the plurality of sources to be dispatched to a resource, memory controller by a dispatch module. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110072220 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING ACCESS PERMISSIONS IN A PARTITIONED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM - In a data processing system having a plurality of resources and plurality of partitions, each partition including one or more resources of the plurality of resources, a method includes receiving an access request to a target resource of the plurality of resources; using a first set of transaction attributes of the access request to determine a partition identifier for the access request in which the partition identifier indicates a partition of the plurality of partitions which includes the target resource; using the partition identifier to determine access permissions for the partition indicated by the partition identifier; and based on the access permissions, determining whether or not the access request is permitted. | 03-24-2011 |
