Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Shared buffer management mechanism and method using multiple linked lists in a high speed packet switching system." This invention introduces a shared memory management mechanism that efficiently releases network packets while maintaining the First In First Out requirement. The mechanism utilizes a series of linked lists, including those for each output queue and used broadcast packets, to aid in buffer management. The special data format within these linked lists encodes broadcast status and links, optimizing the release of broadcast frame buffers through a dynamic scanning procedure that conserves bandwidth.
Another significant patent by Chang is the "Fair data bus arbitration system which assigns adjustable priority." This invention provides a method for arbitrating access to a shared data bus among multiple competing sources. Each source is assigned an adjustable priority weighting value (PWV) based on its bandwidth requirements. The arbitration process compares the PWVs of competing sources, granting access to the one with the smallest PWV. This system also incorporates two-level arbitration, enhancing efficiency in managing bus access.
