A method of placing a clock signal supply network in a design representation for an integrated circuit. The design representation may comprise a plurality of clockable circuit cells. The method may comprise identifying a first of the clockable circuit cells in the design representation. The method may further comprise identifying a second of the clockable circuit cells in the design representation. The second clockable circuit cell may have a clock timing dependent relation relative to the first clockable circuit cell. The method may further comprise configuring the clock signal supply network. The clock signal supply network may be configured to supply respective clock signals to the first and said second clockable circuit cells. The clock signal supply network may be configured to route the respective clock signals such that a timing difference between the respective clock signals is protected from process, voltage and temperature (PVT) influences.

Aspects of the disclosure pertain to a system and method for promoting memory throughput improvement in a multi-processor system. The system and method implement address interleaving for promoting memory throughput improvement. The system and method cause memory access requests to be selectively routed from master devices to slave devices based upon a determined value of a selected bit of an address specified in the memory access request.

A system and method for optimizing slave transaction ID width based on sparse connection between multiple masters and multiple slaves in a multilayer multilevel interconnect system-on-chip (SOC) architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, slave transaction ID widths are computed for a first processing subsystem and a second processing subsystem including multiple masters and multiple slaves. Further, a slave transaction ID for each master to any slave in the first processing subsystem and in the second processing subsystem is generated based on the computed slave transaction ID width. Furthermore, sparse connection information between the multiple masters and multiple slaves is determined via a first bus matrix in the first processing subsystem. A first optimized slave transaction ID for each master to any slave in the first processing subsystem is then generated by removing don't care bits in each generated slave transaction ID based on the sparse connection information.
摘要:
A data-processing system and method are disclosed, which include a cached processor for processing data, and a plurality of memory components that communicate with the cached processor. The cached processor is separated from the memory components such that the cached processor provides support for the memory components, thereby providing a diffused memory architecture with diffused memory capabilities. The memory components can constitute, for example, memory devices such as diffused memory, matrix memory, R-Cell memory components, and the like, depending on design considerations.
