Abstract
An I/O node for a computer system including an integrated graphics engine. An input/output node is implemented upon an integrated circuit chip. The I/O node includes a first transceiver unit, a second transceiver unit, a packet tunnel, a graphics engine and a graphics interface. The first transceiver unit may receive and transmit packet transactions on a first link of a packet bus and the second transceiver unit may receive and transmit packet transactions on a second link. The packet tunnel may convey selected packet transactions between the first and the second transceiver unit. The graphics engine may receive graphics packet transactions from the first transceiver unit and may render digital image information in response to receiving the graphics transactions. The graphics interface may receive additional graphics packet transactions from the first transceiver unit and may translate the additional graphics packet transactions into transactions suitable for transmission upon a graphics bus.
