摘要:
A low overhead method to handle inter process and peer to peer communication. A queue manager is used to create a list of messages with minimal configuration overhead. A hardware queue can be connected to another software task owned by the same core or a different processor core, or connected to a hardware DMA peripheral. There is no limitation on how many messages can be queued between the producer and consumer cores. The low latency interrupt generation to the processor cores is handled by an accumulator inside the QMSS which can be configured to generate interrupts based on a programmable threshold of descriptors in a queue. The accumulator thus removes the polling overhead from software and boosts performance by doing the descriptor pops and message transfer in the background.

摘要:
Transaction requests in an interconnect fabric in a system with multiple nodes are managed in a manner that prevents deadlocks. One or more patterns of transaction requests from a master device to various slave devices within the multiple nodes that may cause a deadlock are determined. While the system is in operation, an occurrence of one of the patterns is detected by observing a sequence of transaction requests from the master device. A transaction request in the detected pattern is stalled to allow an earlier transaction request to complete in order to prevent a deadlock.
摘要:
A bus monitoring and debugging system operating independently without impacting the normal operation of the CPU and without adding any overhead to the application being monitored. Bus transactions to a selected slave are monitored to determine possible conflicts when multiple masters may be addressing the slave. Users are alerted to timing problems as they occur, and bus statistics that are relevant to providing insight to system operation are automatically captured. Logging of relevant events may be enabled or disabled when a sliding time window expires, by a selected address range or alternatively by external trigger events.

A channel-alignment circuit has a controller and a plurality of channel-alignment blocks. Each channel-alignment block synchronizes two or more channels. The controller coordinates the synchronization of channels by the blocks such that (i) channels in each of one or more groups of two or more blocks are synchronized, and (ii) each group of blocks is synchronized independently of any other group.

A method of implementing memory transfers for image warping in an electronic device is described. The method comprises receiving an input tile associated with an image; generating a geometric boundary around pixels of the input tile; and remapping the pixels in the geometric boundary to an output tile. An electronic device and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for performing the method are also disclosed.

A method of enabling processing of a video stream is described. The method comprises establishing a slice width for frames of the video stream; receiving the video stream; dividing, for each frame of the video stream, the frame into vertical slices having the slice width; storing a frame of the video stream in a re-ordered slice based format. Computer-readable storage medium and a device for enabling processing of a video stream are also described
