Computer system including a plurality of multimedia devices each having a high-speed memory data channel for accessing system memory

摘要: A computer system including a plurality of multimedia devices each having high-speed memory data channel for accessing memory. Each device has high speed link directly to memory, which is preferably single or multiple ported These individual links are serial interconnects but, alternatively, may be 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit any combination thereof. In this embodiment, intelligent buffering implemented within the core logic, and arbitration access main logic. uses its dedicated perform accesses transfers bypassing PCI bus cycles. Alternatively, includes controller in logic The thus optimized real-time applications provides increased performance over current architectures.
