    Abstract: An error-handling processing circuit and system are provided. The system can receive an error signal, such as an interrupt, and decouple (e.g., by a gate signal) a functional clock from a processing block, in some instances effectively halting the processing block's operation. This can prevent a cascade of interdependent errors, thereby avoiding producing redundant or confusing error information. The system can include the processing block, a debug clock not coupled to the processing block, and a data block (e.g., a register file) coupled to the debug clock and to an external input/output interface. The data block can be configured to continue receiving a clock signal via a multiplexer from the debug clock without disruption after the functional clock is decoupled, enabling the data block to remain operational for debugging.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for remote, direct memory access (RDMA) technology that enables direct memory access from one host computer memory to another host computer memory over a physical or virtual computer network according to a number of different RDMA protocols. In one example, a method includes receiving remote direct memory access (RDMA) packets via a network adapter, deriving a protocol index identifying an RDMA protocol used to encode data for an RDMA transaction associated with the RDMA packets, applying the protocol index to a generate RDMA commands from header information in at least one of the received RDMA packets, and performing an RDMA operation using the RDMA commands.

    Abstract: A data or packet processing device such as a network interface controller may include cache control logic that is configured to receive a first request for processing a first data packet associated with the queue identifier, and obtain a set of memory descriptors associated with the queue identifier from the memory. The set of descriptors can be stored in the cache. When a second request for processing a second data packet associated with the queue identifier is received, the cache control logic can determine that the cache is storing memory descriptors for processing the second data packet, and provide the memory descriptors used for processing the second packet.

    Abstract: A method for calculating a plurality (M) of redundancy blocks for multiple (N) data blocks of a plurality (D) of words each, the method comprises: receiving the number (M) of redundancy blocks by a calculator that comprises multiple (R) calculation units; configuring the calculator according to M and R; concurrently calculating, if M equals R, by the multiple (R) calculation units of the calculator, R sets of parity vectors, each set includes a plurality (D) of parity vectors; and calculating the plurality (M) of the redundancy blocks based on the R sets of parity vectors.

    Abstract: The following description is directed to a configurable logic platform. In one example, a configurable logic platform includes host logic and a reconfigurable logic region. The reconfigurable logic region can include logic blocks that are configurable to implement application logic. The host logic can be used for encapsulating the reconfigurable logic region. The host logic can include a host interface for communicating with a processor. The host logic can include a management function accessible via the host interface. The management function can be adapted to cause the reconfigurable logic region to be configured with the application logic in response to an authorized request from the host interface. The host logic can include a data path function accessible via the host interface. The data path function can include a layer for formatting data transfers between the host interface and the application logic.

    Abstract: A hardware security accelerator includes a configurable parser that is configured to receive a packet and to extract from the packet headers associated with a set of protocols. The security accelerator also includes a packet type detection unit to determine a type of the packet in response to the set of protocols and to generate a packet type identifier indicative of the type of the packet. A configurable security unit includes a configuration unit and a configurable security engine. The configuration unit configures the configurable security engine according to the type of the packet and to content of at least one of the headers extracted from the packet. The configurable security engine performs security processing of the packet to provide at least one security result.
