Abstract: A stream of data is accessed from a memory system using a stream of addresses generated in a first mode of operating a streaming engine in response to executing a first stream instruction. A block cache preload operation is performed on a cache in the memory using a block of addresses generated in a second mode of operating the streaming engine in response to executing a second stream instruction.

Abstract: A flexible hybrid firewall architecture is disclosed. A system implementing such an architecture includes an access control register, a memory having at least a region to which access is controllable by the access control register, the access control register including first field that contains a privilege identifier (ID) and a plurality of additional fields, each additional field containing control bits corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of permission levels, and control circuitry that, in response to receiving a transaction containing a transaction privilege ID, a security indicator, and a privilege indicator, controls access to the region when the transaction privilege ID matches the privilege ID contained in the first field by using the control bits of a field of the additional fields that corresponds to a security level indicated by the security indicator and a privilege level indicated by the privilege indicator of the transaction.

Abstract: A nested loop controller includes a first register having a first value initialized to an initial first value, a second register having a second value initialized to an initial second value, and a third register configured as a predicate FIFO, initialized to have a third value. The second value is advanced in response to a tick instruction during execution of a loop. In response to the second value reaching a second threshold, the second register is reset to the initial second value. The nested loop controller further includes a comparator coupled to the second register and to the predicate FIFO and configured to provide an outer loop indicator value as input to the predicate FIFO when the second value is equal to the second threshold, and provide an inner loop indicator value as input to the predicate FIFO when the second value is not equal to the second threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a data processing apparatus having a processing core, a memory, and a streaming engine. The streaming engine is configured to receive a plurality of data elements stored in the memory and to provide the plurality of data elements as a data stream to the processing core, and includes an address generator to generate addresses corresponding to locations in the memory, a buffer to store the data elements received from the locations in the memory corresponding to the generated addresses, and an output to supply the data elements received from the memory to the processing core as the data stream.

Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core generating memory transactions, a lower level cache memory with a lower memory controller, and a higher level cache memory with a higher memory controller having a memory pipeline. The higher memory controller is connected to the lower memory controller by a bypass path that skips the memory pipeline. The higher memory controller: determines whether a memory transaction is a bypass write, which is a memory write request indicated not to result in a corresponding write being directed to the higher level cache memory; if the memory transaction is determined a bypass write, determines whether a memory transaction that prevents passing is in the memory pipeline; and if no transaction that prevents passing is determined to be in the memory pipeline, sends the memory transaction to the lower memory controller using the bypass path.

Abstract: This invention is a bus communication protocol. A master device stores bus credits. The master device may transmit a bus transaction only if it holds sufficient number and type of bus credits. Upon transmission, the master device decrements the number of stored bus credits. The bus credits correspond to resources on a slave device for receiving bus transactions. The slave device must receive the bus transaction if accompanied by the proper credits. The slave device services the transaction. The slave device then transmits a credit return. The master device adds the corresponding number and types of credits to the stored amount. The slave device is ready to accept another bus transaction and the master device is re-enabled to initiate the bus transaction. In many types of interactions a bus agent may act as both master and slave depending upon the state of the process.

Abstract: A flexible hybrid firewall architecture that allows a mix of firewalls at end points in front of a target and at the initiator points. Groups of Priv-IDs may be created where each group is isolated from other worlds, with all firewalls controlled by a device management and security module.

Abstract: A method for performing a fundamental computational primitive in a device is provided, where the device includes a processor and a matrix multiplication accelerator (MMA). The method includes configuring a streaming engine in the device to stream data for the fundamental computational primitive from memory, configuring the MMA to format the data, and executing the fundamental computational primitive by the device.
