Abstract

Provided is a data transmission method and device for a direct memory access controller. When multiple system-to-equipment DMA engines send reading request commands to a system through an arbitration mechanism, the system sends first messages or reading operation commands to be sent to equipment to a receiving massage distribution module, and the receiving massage distribution module analyzes the request identifiers of the first messages or the request identifiers of the reading operation commands, and sends the first messages or the reading operation commands to the corresponding system-to-equipment DMA engines according to the request identifiers; multiple equipment-to-system DMA engines send writing request commands to the system through the arbitration mechanism, the system sends writing operation commands to the receiving massage distribution module, and then transmits the writing operation commands to the equipment-to-system DMA engines, and then the equipment-to-system DMA engines send second messages to the system through the arbitration mechanism. Multiple sets of parallel DMA engines are adopted to work simultaneously, the efficiency of DMA equipment for receiving and sending data can be improved remarkably, and system performance can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer system design and integrated circuit design, and in particular to a data transmission method and device of a direct memory access controller. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of computer technology and integrated circuit technology, high-performance computer systems have increasingly become the needs of economic and social development. The data transmission bandwidth of the computer system reaches tens of GB / s, and at the same time, the data processing and analysis capabilities of the computer system accessories are getting higher and higher, which brings challenges to the data transmission capability. On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the amount of data transmitted from the system to the device, that is, to increase the utilization rate of the system data transmission bandwidth as much as possible; on the other hand, it is necessary to avoid CPU computing resources consu...
