Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a centralized interrupt controller to aggregate interrupts generated across multiple semiconductor dies are disclosed. A system includes multiple interrupt sources on multiple semiconductor dies. A centralized interrupt controller on one of the semiconductor dies receives and aggregates interrupts from the multiple interrupt sources on the multiple semiconductor dies. This facilitates a single transmission point for forwarding the interrupts to the processor and operating system responsible for handling interrupts. Each interrupt source embeds an ID when conveying an interrupt to the interrupt controller. This allows the interrupt controller to differentiate between the interrupt sources and to identify which source generated a given interrupt. The interrupt controller conveys an indication of the source of the interrupt to the processor when forwarding the interrupt to the processor.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing duplicated registers for access by initiators across multiple semiconductor dies are disclosed. A system includes multiple initiators on multiple semiconductor dies of a chiplet processor. One of the semiconductor dies is the master die, and this master die has copies of registers which can be accessed by the multiple initiators on the multiple semiconductor dies. When a given initiator on a given secondary die generates a register access, the register access is routed to the master die and a particular duplicate copy of the register maintained for the given secondary die. From the point of view of software, the multiple semiconductor dies appear as a single die, and the multiple initiators appear as a single initiator. Multiple types of registers can be maintained by the master die, with a flush register being one of the register types.
