Patent
User scheduled direct memory access using virtual addresses
TL;DR: In this paper, an intelligent direct memory access (DMA) controller interprets user commands from a host system, translates virtual addresses from the user applications program to physical addresses, and retrieves blocks of data from the main system memory at the request of the user's code, rather than at the permission of the kernel code of the host system.
Patent
System for distributing command/data packets tagged by their unit identifier for parallel processing by a ready processing unit and recombination
TL;DR: In this paper, a serial stream of commands and associated data is distributed to a parallel array of processing units so that the data processed by the parallel processing units can be recombined in the original order in which the serial stream was received.
Patent
Trap mode register
TL;DR: In this paper, a trap mode register is used to select, based on the trap type or a trap data, an associated interrupt vector address register to provide an address of an interrupt vector table through which a trap handler can be invoked.
Patent
System and method for directly executing user DMA instruction from user controlled process by employing processor privileged work buffer pointers
TL;DR: In this paper, an intelligent direct memory access (DMA) controller which interprets user commands from a host system, establishes work buffers for each user process, and retrieves blocks of data from the work buffers at the user's is request, rather than at the request of the kernel software.
Patent
Allocating resources to partitions in a partitionable computer
TL;DR: In this paper, the first partition identification value is stored in the first physical address to produce a partition-identifying address, which may be transmitted to a system fabric, based on the source terminus identifier, whether the source device is allocated to the same partition as any of the plurality of resources.
