    摘要: Control over bus arbitration within a data processing system between a plurality of bus devices (101, 102) coupled by a bus (103) is performed in a user programmable manner by implementing logic circuitry that is responsive to a user programmable bit within a register (203) so that when the bit is asserted, the bus device (102) is able to maintain control over access to the external bus (103). Such a technique is useful for permitting a processor (201) to maintain mastership of an external bus (103) with respect to a direct memory access device (101) also coupled to the bus (103).

    摘要: An external bus master (205) accesses a DRAM (207) using a memory controller (804) internal to a data processor (3) without the use of external multiplexers or any other external circuitry. The need for external multiplexers and even a dedicated integrated circuit pin for providing external control during external master initiated DRAM accesses is removed by the implementation of a circuit and technique for multiplexing row and column addresses of the DRAM internally within the data processor.

    摘要: A user may program a data processor (3) such that external master chip select accesses can be either the same or different length of time than an internal master access through the use of a control register (810). Additionally, the user can turn off the internal transfer acknowledge logic and add external transfer acknowledge logic while still using the internal chip select and write enable generation logic (8) of the data processor. This feature is user programmable on a chip select basis and provides a flexible solution which allows the user to compensate for different external master accesses without requiring external chip select and write enable logic. Therefore, overhead is conserved and efficiency is increased.

    摘要: A data processing node includes a local clock, a slave port and a time synchronization module. The slave port enables the data processing node to be connected through a node interconnect structure to a parent node that is operating in a time synchronized manner with a fabric time of the node interconnect structure. The time synchronization module is coupled to the local clock and the slave port. The time synchronization module is configured for collecting parent-centric time synchronization information and for using a local time provided by the local clock and the parent-centric time synchronization information for allowing one or more time-based functionality of the data processing node to be implemented in accordance with the fabric time.

    摘要: A memory system and a method for operating a memory system are provided. The memory system includes a set of memory banks, logic for calculating a first address in each memory bank from the set of memory banks and a controller receiving a transfer address from a computing device. The controller includes logic for selecting a memory bank from the set of memory banks based on the transfer address and the first addresses of the memory banks, and for mapping the transfer address to a target address in the selected memory bank based on a first address in the selected memory bank. As a result, the set of memory banks has a contiguous memory space.
