Appl. No.:

12/979665

Assignee:

LSI Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G06F 13/36

US Classification:

710306, 709230

Abstract:

Described embodiments provide a system having a bridge for connecting two different processor buses. A process monitor within the bridge allows for measuring latency of commands issued on a first bus, passing through the bridge, and executed by clients coupled to the second bus. By using identification fields associated with the command, measuring the latency of each command begins with matching the identification field of the command to an integer. As the bridge passes acknowledgements back to the first bus, the monitoring of the command is stopped when an identification field associated with an acknowledgement matches the identification field of the command being monitored. Data collected include the minimum, maximum, total latency, and the number of commands monitored. From this data, the average latency can be easily calculated.

US Classification:

709213

Abstract:

Described embodiments provide a method of updating configuration data of a network processor having one or more processing modules and a shared memory. A control processor of the network processor writes updated configuration data to the shared memory and sends a configuration update request to a configuration manager. The configuration update request corresponds to the updated configuration data. The configuration manager determines whether the configuration update request corresponds to settings of a given one of the processing modules. If the configuration update request corresponds to settings of a given one of the one or more processing modules, the configuration manager, sends one or more configuration operations to a destination one of the processing modules corresponding to the configuration update request and updated configuration data. The destination processing module updates one or more register values corresponding to configuration settings of the processing module with the corresponding updated configuration data.
