Abstract:
An interconnect apparatus comprises first node circuitry for performing first node operations to service data access requests in respect of a first range of memory addresses and second node circuitry for performing second node operations to service data access requests in respect of a second range of memory addresses. The interconnect comprises interface circuitry to: receive a retry indication in respect of a data access request from the first node and forward the retry indication to the requester circuitry; responsive to determining that the interface circuitry has capacity for the data access request, transmit a reissue capacity message to the requester circuitry; receive a reissued data access request from the requester circuitry; and issue the reissued data access request to the second node circuitry. The second node circuitry is responsive to receiving the reissued data access request to service the data access request.
