US 2021/0281618 A1 · SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR STREAMING INPUT/OUTPUT DATA

Abstract

In one embodiment, a system includes a device and a host. The device includes a device stream buffer. The host includes a processor to execute at least a first application and a second application, a host stream buffer, and a host scheduler. The first application is associated with a first transmit streaming channel to stream first data from the first application to the device stream buffer. The first transmit streaming channel has a first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer. The host scheduler schedules enqueue of the first data from the first application to the first transmit streaming channel based at least in part on availability of space in the first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

a processor to execute at least a first application and a second application, the first application associated with a first transmit streaming channel to stream first data from the first application to a device stream buffer of a device, wherein the first transmit streaming channel has a first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer;
and
a scheduler coupled to the processor, the scheduler to schedule the first application to enqueue the first data to the first transmit streaming channel based at least in part on availability of space in the first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer.

A machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which if performed by a machine, cause the machine to:

receive first data associated with a first application at a device stream buffer of a device, the first application associated with a first receive streaming channel to stream the first data from the device stream buffer to the first application at a host device via a host stream buffer, the first receive streaming channel having a first allocated amount of buffer space in the host stream buffer;
and
schedule streaming of the first data from the device stream buffer to the first application via the first receive streaming channel based at least in part on availability of space in the first allocated amount of buffer space in the host stream buffer.

A system comprising:

a device comprising:
a device stream buffer;
and
a host coupled to the device, the host comprising:
a processor to execute at least a first application and a second application, the first application associated with a first transmit streaming channel to stream first data from the first application to the device stream buffer, the first transmit streaming channel having a first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer;
a host stream buffer;
and
a host scheduler coupled to the processor, the host scheduler to schedule enqueue of the first data from the first application to the first transmit streaming channel based at least in part on availability of space in the first allocated amount of buffer space in the device stream buffer.
