A system can include a host device and a remote terminal. The host device can include a host terminal, the host terminal including a host configuration manager to allocate a data lane to an I/O protocol and a protocol multiplexer to carry out allocation of the data lane based on the allocation of the configuration manager. The remote terminal can include a remote configuration manager. The remote configuration manager is to communicate with the remote configuration manager via a control bus to detect connection of an I/O device to an I/O port and to allocate the data lane to the I/O protocol.

Lane division multiplexing of an I/O link

An apparatus for processing visual information includes a controller to control display of information in an application window based on first visual information stored in a buffer and second visual information received from one or more sources. The controller outputs the first visual information for display in a first area of the application window and outputs the second visual information for simultaneous display in a second area of the application window. The first visual information is visual information that does not change between a first time and a second time, and the second visual information is visual information that changes between the first time and the second time. The controller may be different from a central processing unit of a host device.

System and method for processing visual information

In some embodiments a detector detects a host or device coupled via a link. A port negotiates with a port of the detected host or device and determines whether to operate as a host and/or as a device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Universal serial bus host to host communications

In some embodiments a Universal Serial Bus cable includes a first differential pair to transmit bus signals, and a second differential pair to transmit bus signals in a same direction as the bus signals transmitted by the first differential pair. In this manner, a bandwidth of the Universal Serial Bus cable is doubled in that same direction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Asymmetrical universal serial bus communications

Asymmetrical Universal Serial Bus communications

A method and apparatus for signaling virtual channel support in communication networks. A node receives a data packet from another node to examine whether the other node commonly supports one or more virtual channels of a given type on a point-to-point communication link between the nodes, and the node signaling common support for one or more virtual channels of a given type, based on the content in the received data packet that indicates whether the other node transmitting the data packet has adequate queue resources to support one or more virtual channels of a given type, and based on whether the node has adequate queue resources to support the one or more virtual channels of a given type.

A striping system and method for distributing a payload of data across a plurality of parallel USB cables from a source to a destination is described. The striping devices reside in the architecture of a source and destination connected by more than one standardized USB bus cable. The striping devices increase the bandwidth between the source and the destination by providing more lanes of data traffic and utilizing segmentation and reassembly to ensure that the data is split up and then reassembled correctly into the original stream at the destination. The striping devices allow for user determination of usability along with self diagnostics as to the source's and destination's ability to handle striping. Other embodiments are described.

Asymmetrical serial communications

A multiple-domain processing system includes a multi-dimensional switching fabric to provide intra-domain and inter-domain communication within the system.

Multiple-domain processing system using hierarchically orthogonal switching fabric

According to some embodiments, systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided to detect a coupling of a first cable plug to a bimodal host receptacle and to configure a function of the bimodal host receptacle based at least in part on a first cable plug, where if the first cable plug's relief is a different shape than a key, the bimodal host receptacle will act in a first function, wherein if the first cable plug's relief is a same shape as the key, then the bimodal host receptacle will act in a second function.

Automatic configuration of an interface to a host or client

A distributed power management system for a bus architecture or similar communications network. The system supports multiple low power states and defines entry and exit procedures for maximizing energy savings and communication speed.

Active state link power management

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.
