Abstract:

A switching fabric handles transactions using a protocol that directs packets based on path routing information. Components participate in transactions using a protocol that issues packets based on physical location of a destination device over the switching fabric, by establishing a virtual link partner relationship between the components.

Abstract:

A queuing mechanism is described for managing packets between agents of a computer system. The queuing mechanism includes an ordered queue including a plurality of queue registers to store a plurality of packets. The queuing mechanism also includes a bypass queue coupled to the ordered queue, wherein, if a packet at head of the ordered queue is a delayed request and is stalled for lack of flow control credit, then the stalled packet is moved into the bypass queue.

US Classification:

370392, 370474

Abstract:

A method for accessing a configuration space of a device is described. The method includes setting a first field of a packet to a value to specify a destination device, and setting a second field of the packet to a defined value to indicate that the packet is a configuration access packet. The method further includes setting a third field of the configuration access packet to a value to select one of a plurality of configuration apertures of a configuration space of the destination device, and setting a fourth field of the configuration access packet to a value to address a specific memory location within the selected aperture.

Abstract:

A signalling device for use in combination with a door so as to signal when the door is attempted to be opened as by inward pivotal motion with respect to the frame in which such door is supported. Normally the alarm is an audible one such as a horn or siren, and in this manner, attempts to open the door are brought to the attention of those inside the structure. The device functions as a dead bolt lock and the signal aspect of the device may be overridden by a key-operated deactivation assembly. Generally the device operates by means of a transversely slidable bolt which may have electrical contact on the inner surface thereof for engagement with a contact on the inside of the door or housing attached thereto. Other contact locations are also contemplated. The bolt may be spring biased away from the door or housing contact and an appropriate electrical circuit is closed and the signal activated upon door movement as by attempted entry.
