Abstract:
A device may receive a request to read data from or write data to a memory that includes a number of memory banks. The request may include an address. The device may perform a mapping operation on the address to map the address from a first address space to a second address space, identify one of the memory banks based on the address in the second address space, and send the request to the identified memory bank.
Abstract:
A processor may include a conditional arithmetic logic unit and a main arithmetic logic unit. The conditional arithmetic logic unit may perform a first arithmetic logic operation to generate a first result, and output the result. The main arithmetic logic unit may select input buses among a plurality of data buses that carry the first result from the conditional arithmetic logic unit, perform a second arithmetic logic operation on data provided by the selected input buses to generate a second result, and write the second result in a storage component.
Abstract:
A firewall device may include a forwarding component that includes a filter block. The filter block may obtain a first hardware-implemented filter, where a hardware implementation limits the first hardware-implemented filter to a maximum quantity of rules; determine whether a last rule associated with the accessed hardware-implemented filter includes a split-filter action, where the split-filter action identifies a second hardware-implemented filter; and link the second hardware-implemented filter to the first hardware-implemented filter to make the second hardware-implemented filter a logical continuation of the first hardware-implemented filter, in response to determining that the last rule includes the split-filter action. The filter block may further determine whether a particular rule of the first hardware-implemented filter includes a next-filter action, where the next filter action identifies a third hardware-implemented filter; and process the third hardware-implemented filter independently of the sequence of hardware attachment points.
