Freescale Semiconductor Assigned Patent for Data Processor Coupled to a Sequencer Circuit That Provides Efficient Scalable Queuing and Method

(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) By Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 11 -- Freescale Semiconductor, Austin, Texas, has been assigned a patent (8,156,265) developed by Tim J. Buick, Ottawa, and John F. Pillar, Ottawa, for a "data processor coupled to a sequencer circuit that provides efficient scalable queuing and method." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A data processor includes a single-token-record memory, a sequence circuit, and a memory controller. The single-token-record memory has a plurality of first storage locations. The sequencer circuit is coupled to the single-token-record memory. The sequencer circuit, responsive to a request to place a token in a tail-end of a queue, either stores said token into one of the plurality of first storage locations if the single-token-record memory stores no greater than a predetermined number of tokens associated with the tail-end of the queue, or stores the token with at least one additional token and a pointer to a next storage location into one of a plurality of second storage locations otherwise. The memory controller is coupled to the sequencer circuit to store the token with the at least one additional token and the pointer in a location of a multi-token-record memory having the plurality of second storage locations." The patent application was filed on June 2, 2009 (12/476,586).
