An improved target and initiator. The initiator provides a starting address and length information on a bus synchronously with a clock signal. While the starting address and length information are present on the bus, the initiator provides a write or a read request signal that is activated and deactivated synchronously. The initiator then receives from the target unit a grant signal that is activated and deactivated synchronously. After the grant signal is deactivated, for a write operation, the initiator provides a number of write data items on the bus synchronously for capture by the target unit. For a read operation, the target provides a number of read data items on the bus synchronously for capture by the initiator unit. One data item provided in each clock cycle of the clock signal and the number of data items is determined by the length information provided.

A system and method for supporting multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) includes a first communication path coupled to a root complex device and a first connection point of a first GPU. A second communication path is coupled to the root complex device and a first set of switches. The first set of switches is configured to route communications between the root complex device to either a second connection point of the first GPU via a second set of switches or to a first connection point of a second GPU. The second set of switches is coupled to a second connection point of the first GPU. The second set of switches is configured to route communications to and from the second connection point of the first GPU and to either the root complex device via the first set of switches or to a second connection point of the second GPU.

A fault tolerant graphics controller that generates error codes for graphics commands and checks the error codes before the graphics controller executes the command. The error code generator may be configured to detect and correct errors or to just detect errors. If an error is detected or an uncorrectable error occurs, the host computing system can be informed or interrupted, the erroneous command can be flushed from the graphics controller or the commands before and after the possibly erroneous command can be stored to help determine the erroneous command. Error codes can be generated on a block basis and stored in the frame buffer, thereby having minimal impact on system performance.

Supporting multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) comprises a first path coupled to a north bridge device (or a root complex device) and a first GPU, which may include a portion of the first GPU's total communication lanes. A second communication path may be coupled to the north bridge device and a second GPU and may include a portion of the second GPU's total communication lanes. A third communication path may be coupled between the first and second GPUs directly or through one or more switches that can be configured for single or multiple GPU operations. The third communication path may include some or all of the remaining communication lanes for the first and second GPUs. As a nonlimiting example, the first and second GPUs may each utilize an 8-lane PCI express communication path with the north bridge device and an 8-lane PCI express communication path with each other.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for individualized and dynamic advertisements delivery and display in cloud computing and ordinary Internet systems. The client updates the advertisement server periodically the user web browsing history and local media, advertisements play back log. The client updates the advertisement server the user geographical location. The advertisement server analyzes the user interest and geographical information from client, combining with the server information of client neighborhood events, client neighboring friends, traffic, weather condition. The advertisement server selects the advertisements, tags the selected advertisements, then pushes to the client local storage. Client takes the retrieved web content and selects the best fit advertisements from local storage with according to the time, date, as well as the information of browsing history, geographical information, neighborhood events, client neighboring friends, traffic, weather. The client constructs new web pages with the individualized advertisements. The individualized advertisements can be added to the original web pages, or replace original advertisements.
