摘要： A processor includes at least a portion of a first split transmit and receive media access controller (MAC), the split transmit and receive MAC having a transmit unit and a receive unit physically separated from one another. An interface for directing signals between the transmit unit and the receive unit of the first split transmit and receive MAC is configurable to multiplex the signals with other signals directed between a transmit unit and a receive unit of at least a second split transmit and receive MAC. The interface may comprise a plurality of channels, each having one or more ports associated therewith, wherein a given signal to be directed between transmit and receive units of a given split transmit and receive MAC is assigned to a particular channel and port of the interface.

摘要： A centralizing tool for use in drilling an earth borehole. Drilling fluid pressure extends contact members radially from the tool into engagement with the borehole walls. A timing wheel engages each of the contact members to coordinate their radial movement. A fluid driven tubular central piston extending through the timing wheel causes the wheel to rotate as the piston is moved axially through the tool. High fluid pressure drives the contact members radially outwardly and moves the piston axially to compress a central coil spring surrounding the piston. Reduction of the drilling fluid pressure allows the spring force to return the piston to its initial axial position which rotates the timing wheel to retract the contact elements.

摘要： An internal memory controller of a network processor or other type of processor controls access of processor clients to memory instances of an internal memory of the processor. The internal memory controller includes a configurable switching element that is connectable between the clients and the memory instances, and is operative to control access of particular ones of the clients to particular ones of the memory instances. Generally, the configurable switching element is configurable to connect any one of at least a subset of the clients to each of at least a subset of the memory instances. In a first selectable configuration of the configurable switching element, a given one of the processor clients is permitted to access a first set of one or more memory instances, and in a second selectable configuration of the configurable switching element, the given processor client is permitted to access a second set of one or more memory instances, with the second set being different than the first set.

摘要： A processor includes controller circuitry operative to control performance monitoring for at least one flow of cells or other protocol data units (PDUs) received by the processor. The controller circuitry includes a classifier and is operative to access memory circuitry associated with the processor. The classifier is configured to perform at least a first pass classification of at least a subset of the PDUs. The controller circuitry in conjunction with a first pass classification of a PDU of a first type is operative to execute a first script, and in conjunction with a first pass classification of a PDU of a second type is operative to execute a second script different than the first script. A result of execution of at least one of the first and second scripts is stored in the memory circuitry. A performance monitoring output is generated, responsive to receipt of the protocol data unit of the second type, based at least in part on the result of execution of at least one of the first and second scripts. The performance monitoring output may be generated in conjunction with a second pass classification of the PDU of the second type, upon execution of an additional function or other type of script.

摘要： A processor having a packet processing order maintenance feature includes classification circuitry operative to identify for each of a plurality of packets received in the processor a corresponding packet flow identifier, control circuitry operatively coupled to the classification circuitry, and at least one operational unit operatively coupled to the control circuitry. The control circuitry is operative to direct one or more packets having a given packet flow identifier to the operational unit(s) in a manner that maintains a desired function call sequencing over the one or more packets having the given packet flow identifier for one or more order-dependent processing tasks in the processor.
