Abstract

The invention provides a method for realizing transmission of a QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) message through a PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect-Express) interface. The PCI-E interface is adopted instead of a QPI physical layer, so that memory expansion, access and maintenance of the PCI-E interface are realized. The design structure of the PCI-E interface for transmitting the QPI message comprises a detection circuit, a PCI-E interface module, a PCI-E and QPI interface transformation configuration module and a QPI upper-layer logic interface module. The method for realizing transmission of the QPI message through the PCI-E interface has the advantages that total mapping of various PCI-E transmission modes such as X16, X8 and X4 to a QPI transmission mode is realized through adoption of a plurality of data mapping relations, so that the usability of a system is greatly enhanced. In the development, design, verification and debugging processes of a QPI protocol relevant chip, the design difficulty and design risk of the chip can be effectively lowered, and the chip development period can be greatly shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a method for realizing the transmission of QPI messages by a PCI-E interface. 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. This requires research on server system memory expansion, multi-processor interconnection and other technologies to improve system performance. The above technologies need to develop related functional chips to achieve. At present, Intel processors use QPI interface to achieve external interconnection. The QPI interface has high transmission rate and complex protocol, which brings challenges to the design and verification of functional chips. Therefore, using mature PCI-E design technology to transmit QPI messages through the PCI-E interface can effectively reduce the difficulty...
