摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for scheduling a resource (35) to meet quality of service guarantees. In one embodiment of three levels of priority, if a channel of a first priority level (15) is within its bandwidth allocation, then a request is issued from that channel. If there are no requests in channels at the first priority level that are within the allocation, requests from channels at the second priority level (20) that are within their bandwidth allocation are chosen. If there are no requests of this type, requests from channels at the third priority level (25) or requests from channels at the first and second levels that are outside of their bandwidth allocation are issued. The system may be implemented using rate-based scheduling.

摘要:
Various methods and apparatuses are described for a communication system. The communication system may include an initiator core supporting a first burst capability and a target core supporting a second burst capability, wherein the support burst features of the second burst capability differs from the support burst features of the first burst capability. The communication system may also comprise an interconnect coupled to the initiator core and the target core. Furthermore, the communication system may include a target agent coupled to the target core and an initiator agent coupled to the initiator core, wherein the initiator agent includes an end-to-end burst conversion mechanism to allow the initiator and target cores to communicate, by generating burst conversion signals, independent of the initiator and target cores needing to adapt their burst capabilities.
