International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711167, 345534, 345571

Abstract:

A system-on-a-chip controller having a first processor and a second processor. The first processor provides control processing and image processing. The second processor provides image processing. The processors receive data from an external source through a data bus. Also, the controller can include a third controller to provide I/O functionality to an external device. The second processor processes the stored data in either a row or column configuration. A fixed-length instruction word can be decoded into two instructions, an operation instruction and an I/O instruction, and can be used to process the data. The I/O instruction can be disposed in an unused bit field of the operation instruction.

International Classification:

H04L 29/12

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for an alternate control channel for a network protocol stack are disclosed. In some embodiments a controller device provides instructions to one or more source devices. The controller device instructions the one or more source devices to override network parameters associated with network communication performed by the source devices. The network parameters to be overridden may include transport level source ports, source network addresses, or source link level addresses. In some embodiments, a range of override values are specified. In some of these aspects, a source device may perform time division multiplexing via the multiple override values, such that data generated by a single device may appear to be transmitted by multiple devices.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for an alternate control channel for a network protocol stack are disclosed. In some embodiments a controller device provides instructions to one or more source devices via a shared memory. The controller device instructions the one or more source devices to override network parameters associated with network communication performed by the source devices. The network parameters to be overridden may include transport level source ports, source network addresses, or source link level addresses. In some embodiments, a range of override values are specified. In some of these aspects, a source device may perform time division multiplexing via the multiple override values, such that data generated by a single device may appear to be transmitted by multiple devices.
