Title: Andrew Su: Computer-System and Peripheral Data-Transfer Inventions.

Introduction

Andrew Su is an inventor based in Taipei, Taiwan, associated with Via Technologies, Inc. His patent work addresses data access and transfer in computer systems, including how peripheral devices communicate with system memory and buses. He is named on 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Su’s listed patents focus on improving the handling and movement of data within computer systems.

- Method and Related Apparatus for Internal Data Accessing of a Computer System. This invention organizes peripheral access requests into processing queues according to whether they require CPU snooping. Non-snooping requests can be routed directly to system memory, while responses from memory and the CPU are buffered using resources associated with different virtual channels. The approach is intended to improve data-access efficiency through request routing and dispatch.

- Method and Related Apparatus for Controlling a Peripheral Device to Transfer Data to a Bus. This invention uses two storage blocks in a peripheral device’s bus interface circuit. While one block outputs stored data to the bus, the other can store data from the controller, enabling the interface to coordinate successive data transfers.

Career Highlights

Su’s listed inventions concern chipset-level data routing and peripheral bus-interface operation. Both address the coordination of data movement between components, with the aim of supporting efficient access and transfer.

Collaborations

Su’s listed coworkers include Jiin Lai and Chad Tsai. His work is associated with Via Technologies, Inc.

Conclusion

Andrew Su’s two listed patents focus on improving data access and transfer through computer-system routing and peripheral-interface techniques.
