A Fiber Channel switch is presented that tracks the congestion status of destination ports in an XOFF mask at each input. A mapping is maintained between virtual channels on an ISL and the destination ports to allow changes in the XOFF mask to trigger a primitive to an upstream port that provides virtual channel flow control. The XOFF mask is also used to avoid sending frames to a congested port. Instead, these frames are stored on a single deferred queue and later processed in a manner designed to maintain frame ordering. A routing system is provided that applies multiple routing rules in parallel to perform line speed routing. The preferred switch fabric is cell based, with techniques used to manage path maintenance for variable length frames and to adapt to varying transmission rates in the system. Finally, the switch allows data and microprocessor communication to share the same crossbar network.

A method for providing an early packet termination such that prior to the complete transmission of the number of cells specified in the first cell of a packet, a crossbar connection is released. The act of releasing the connection is triggered on recognition of an End of Packet bit (EOP) set in any cell of the stream. The feature can be enabled, for example, by a specific act of setting a register bit, connecting a pin to Vcc or ground or some other intentional act. The feature will default to the inactive state upon reset.

A video memory system for storing ATSC video image data is configured as three channels, each channel having two banks and each bank including a plurality of memory rows. The exemplary memory system includes a buffer area for holding bit-stream data and six field buffer areas. The field buffer areas are arranged in pairs to form a three frame buffer areas, such that the buffer areas for the two fields in a given frame are allocated in respectively different banks. The video memory system includes an output memory controller which receives macroblocks of decoded image data and divides the received macroblocks into respective upper and lower half-macroblocks, the upper half-macroblock being stored in one field buffer of the frame and the lower half-macroblock being stored in the other field buffer of the frame. In addition, the output memory controller stores the luminance and chrominance components of the half-macroblocks in respectively different channels of the memory device and the channel assignment is changed from one half-macroblock to the next. The memory system also includes an input memory controller which retrieves reference half-macroblocks from the memory.
