Latest Patents

Symmetrical Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). This invention describes apparatus and methods that allow two graphics controllers to cooperate on a single screen while modifying the AGP protocol to provide symmetric capabilities for AGP targets and masters. In one embodiment, a graphics controller receives an AGP transaction request from a core logic device, buffers it in a request queue, and initiates a data transaction in response.

System for Issuing a Command to a Memory Having a Reorder Module. This system improves the efficiency of processing commands sent from an initiating device to a resource. It uses a command queue, command reorder slots, and selection logic to choose commands that meet an efficiency criterion for processing. The system may also include response-reordering logic that restores data from reordered read commands to the original command order.
