摘要： A combination of techniques to prevent deadlocks and livelocks in a computer system having a dispatcher and multiple downstream command queues. In one embodiment, a broadcast transaction that requires simultaneously available space in all the affected downstream command queues becomes a delayed transaction, so that the command queues are reserved and other transactions are retried until the broadcast transaction is completed. In another embodiment, a bail-out timer is used to defer a transaction if the transaction does not complete within a predetermined time. In yet another embodiment, a locked transaction that potentially addresses memory space controlled by a programmable attribute map is handled as a delayed transaction if there is less than a predetermined amount of downstream buffer space available for the transaction.

摘要： A method and apparatus for delivering APIC interrupts to a processor, and between processors, as FSB transactions. Interrupts and hardware signals, generated by a PCI device, are converted into an upstream memory write interrupt and further converted into an FSB interrupt transaction, received by a processor. Interrupts marked as lowest priority re-directable are redirected based on task priority information. Support for XTPR transactions to update XTPR registers is provided. Preferred ordering of XTPR update transactions and interrupts to be redirected is provided.

摘要： An embodiment of a memory controller that improves processor to graphics device throughput by reducing the frequency of retries of postable write transaction requests is disclosed. The memory controller includes a posted write buffer and a timeout counter. The memory controller is coupled to a processor via a host bus and is also coupled to a graphics device via a graphics bus. If the posted write buffer is unavailable when a first postable write transaction request is received by the memory controller, the memory controller stalls the host bus and waits for the posted write buffer to become available. If a second transaction request is received while the posted write buffers are unavailable, the timeout counter is initiated. If the posted write buffer becomes available before the timeout counter expires, the first postable write transaction request is completed. If, however, the timeout counter expires before the posted write buffer becomes available, the memory controller issues a retry response to the processor, indicating to the processor that the first postable write transaction request must be reissued at a later time.
摘要翻译：公开了一种通过减少可写入写入事务请求的重试频率来将处理器改善为图形设备吞吐量的存储器控制器的实施例。存储器控制器包括一个发布的写入缓冲器和一个超时计数器。存储器控制器经由主机总线耦合到处理器，并且还经由图形总线耦合到图形设备。如果当存储器控制器接收到第一个可写入写入事务请求时，发送的写入缓冲区不可用，则存储器控制器停止主机总线并等待发布的写入缓冲区变得可用。如果在发送的写入缓冲区不可用时接收到第二个事务请求，则启动超时计数器。如果发布的写入缓冲区在超时计数器到期之前可用，则第一个可写入写入事务请求完成。然而，如果超时计数器在发布的写入缓冲器可用之前到期，则存储器控制器向处理器发出重试响应，向处理器指示必须在稍后时间重新发出第一个可写入写入事务请求。

摘要： A technique to reduce accumulated latencies in bus transmission time when a bus inversion scheme is employed. The bus inversion scheme inverts all the data bits whenever more than one-half of the data bits are active, so that the bus never has more that one-half of the bits active during a data transfer. This minimizes the number of driver circuits that are actively driving the bus at any given time. Since it takes a certain amount to time to determine if more than one-half of the bits are active, this process can add to overall latency, or data transfer time on the bus. By placing the bus inversion function in parallel with another function that also contributes to bus latency, such as error correction code (ECC) calculation, only the more time-consuming of the two functions will increase bus latency.
摘要翻译：一种在采用总线反转方案时减少总线传输时间的累积延迟的技术。每当超过一半的数据位有效时，总线反相方案会反转所有数据位，这样在数据传输过程中，总线从不会有更多的一半位有效。这样可以最大限度地减少任何给定时间内积极驱动总线的驱动电路的数量。由于需要一定的时间来确定是否有超过一半的位是活动的，所以该过程可以增加总线上的总延迟或数据传输时间。通过将总线反转功能与还有助于总线等待时间（如纠错码（ECC））计算的另一个功能并行布置，只有更多的时间消耗这两个功能才能增加总线延迟。
