The concept of direct-memory access (DMA) isn’t new; for years now, processors and chipset makers have been implementing DMA as part of their efforts to increase system performance. Similarly, ...

The PCI Express® Avalon® Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) Direct Memory Access (DMA) Reference Design highlights the performance of the Avalon-MM 256-Bit Hard IP for PCI Express IP Core. The design includes ...

Multicast, a technique commonly used in networking systems, allows a given processing unit to send a single data stream to multiple destinations at the same time efficiently. Typically, the switch ...

In the world of computers, the central processing unit (CPU) is–well–central. Your first computer course probably explained it like the brain of the computer. However, sometimes you can overload that ...

Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a peripheral device control a processor’s memory bus directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® interface IP solutions, today announced their vDMA™ IP Core, a highly efficient many-channel DMA engine specifically ...

Last time, in Part 1, we introduced somebasics behind Direct Memory Access (DMA) -why it's needed, and how it's structured and controlled. This time,we'll focus on the classifications of DMA transfers ...

Here’s the thing about coding. When you’re working on embedded projects, it’s quite easy to run into hardware limitations, and quite suddenly, too. You find yourself desperately trying to find a way ...

Soon after research was released that BitLocker drives could be decrypted using SSD hardware encryption flaws, Microsoft released a support bulletin describing how to protect BitLocker from 1394 & ...

Transferring large blocks of data within memory as well as to and from peripherals. Direct memory access (DMA) avoids loading the CPU's register with small amounts of data from memory and storing them ...
