In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model; for implementing a distributed architecture for cooperative NVM Data protection; data mirroring for consistent SSD latency; for boosting a controller's performance and RAS with DIF support via concurrent RAID processing; for implementing arbitration and resource schemes of a doorbell mechanism, including doorbell arbitration for fairness and prevention of attack congestion; and for implementing multiple interrupt generation using a messaging unit and NTB in a controller through use of an interrupt coalescing scheme.

Presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model

Methods and apparatuses for flushing write-combined data from a buffer within a memory to an input/output (I/O) device.

Methods and apparatuses for flushing write-combined data from a buffer

The storage locations of a snoop filter are segregated into a number of groups, and some groups are associated with some processors in a system. When new data enter a cache line of a processor, one of the storage locations associated with the processor is selected for further operations.

In some embodiments, a method, apparatus and system to generate an interrupt by monitoring an external interface are presented. In this regard, an interrupt agent is introduced to communicate over a serial interface with an input/output (I/O) extender and to save a relevant status of the I/O extender in a memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Method, apparatus and system to generate an interrupt by monitoring an external interface

Write-combining in a computer system that uses a push model is set forth herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises creating one or more packets having a descriptor and the data associated with detected write transactions stored in the buffer assigned to a write-combinable range in response to a flush request to flush the buffer, and sending (pushing) these packets to the network I/O device.
