    摘要: A method of managing power states of memory modules while performing memory access operations is disclosed. Memory modules are in a power saving state until an access operation involving the module is to be performed. The module is placed in an operational mode, then the access operation is performed, then the module is returned to the power saving state. Apparatus and systems using the method are also disclosed and claimed.

    摘要: An ATM communications system. The system includes an ATM network on which ATM cells of ATM packets travel. The system includes a host having a host memory mechanism preferably having cache lines which stores the cells. The system includes an interface having a receive memory mechanism which stores a partial packet comprising a plurality of cells received from the ATM network. The receive memory mechanism aligns with the host memory mechanism so every transfer from the receive memory mechanism of the plurality of cells to the host memory mechanism fills the host memory mechanism along cache lines of the host memory mechanism. The interface has a bus which connects to the host on which communication between the host and the interface occurs. The interface is connected to the ATM network. A method for sending ATM cells over an ATM network. An interface for a host to receive ATM cells from an ATM communication network.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for maintaining lock characteristics while providing selective access to a cache during lock cycles. To guarantee that only one master accesses memory at a time, locked cycles are always passed to the internal arbitration unit of the memory controller, even if they are cache hits. If the local bus is not granted or cannot be guaranteed that it will be granted the bus for the locked cycle, the cycle is cancelled.

    摘要: The cache controller of a second level cache in an Intel Pentium processor based computer system contains test circuitry that allows reading and writing directly into all tag RAM databit locations. This circuitry responds to a modified External Address Strobe (EADS#) command to invoke the tag test cycle. The EADS# command is normally used in a SNOOP read cycle by the system. In a SNOOP cycle, the main memory controller invokes the EADS# command to request the first level (L.sub.1) and second level (L.sub.2) caches for modified information stored in those caches. In the tag test cycle the EADS# command line is held down twice as long as it would in a normal SNOOP read Cycle. Because of its added length, the SNOOP cycle circuits in the L.sub.2 cache ignore the command on the EADS# command line. However, the tag RAM test circuitry in the L.sub.2 cache recognizes the extended EADS# strobe providing a path to access all bit locations in a tag RAM for both read and write cycles to test the tag RAM or to load those bit positions to selected states in testing other portions of the cache.
