Abstract:
1. A system comprising: an interface module configured to interface a solid-state disk controller to a computing device; a memory control module configured to (i) exchange data with the computing device via the interface module, and (ii) cache the data in a solid-state memory controlled by the solid-state disk controller; a network interface module configured to (i) communicate with the computing device via the interface module, and (ii) interface the computing device to a wireless network; a crossbar module having a master bus interface, wherein each of the interface module, the memory control module, and the network interface module includes a respective master bus interface configured to communicate with the crossbar module via the master bus interface of the crossbar module; a bridge configured to bridge the master bus interface of the crossbar module to an advanced high-performance bus; and a memory configured to communicate with one or more of the network interface module and the crossbar module via one or more of the master bus interface and the advanced high-performance bus, wherein, in response to the network interface module receiving data from the wireless network while the memory control module is (i) caching data from the computing device to the solid-state memory or (ii) outputting data cached in the solid-state memory to the computing device, the network interface module is configured to buffer the data received from the wireless network in the memory.
