    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) exposes hardware blocks thereof via an addressable control space defining fields at corresponding global addresses. The addressable control space is shared across the hardware blocks. Each hardware block has implemented fields; the implemented fields of a hardware block are mapped to a subset of the fields of the addressable control space. One or more implemented fields of more than one hardware block are each mapped to the same field of the addressable control space. A hardware block internally compresses the fields of the addressable control space in accordance with its implemented fields to perform a write operation. A hardware block internally expands the implemented fields to the fields of the addressable control space to perform a read operation.

    Abstract: According to an example, a failed component in a fault-tolerant memory fabric may be determined by transmitting request packets along a plurality of routes between the redundancy controller and a media controller in periodic cycles. The redundancy controller may determine whether route failures for all of the plurality of routes have occurred within a number of consecutive periodic cycles. In response to determining that route failures for all of the plurality of routes have occurred within a number of consecutive periodic cycles, the media controller is established as failed. In response to determining that route failures for less than all of the plurality of routes have occurred within the number of consecutive periodic cycles, a fabric device is established as failed.
