Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods of operating apparatuses, interconnects for connecting apparatuses to one another, and methods of operating the interconnects are disclosed. A master apparatus can issue an individual all-zero-data write transaction specifying a data storage location to the interconnect, which conveys the individual all-zero-data write transaction to a target device which writes all-zero-data at the data storage location. No write data is conveyed with the individual all-zero-data write transaction, so that the individual all-zero-data write transaction may be used to clear the data storage location without adding to congestion of a write data channel in the interconnect.
