    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for connecting PCI-ordered agents based on fully independent networks. The system and method are free of PCI topology constraints, so that the system and method can be implemented in an inexpensive and scalable way. The method disclosed is used to handle and transport PCI-ordered traffic on a fabric. Based on the actual ordering requirement of the set of PCI agents, the fabric includes two, three, or four independent networks.

    摘要: Quality-of-Service (QoS) is an important system-level requirement in the design and implementation of on-chip networks. QoS requirements can be implemented in an on-chip-interconnect by providing for at least two signals indicating priority at a transaction-level interface where one signal transfers information in-band with the transaction and the other signal transfers information out-of-band with the transaction. The signals can be processed by the on-chip-interconnect to deliver the required QoS. In addition, the disclosed embodiments can be extended to a Network-on-Chip (NoC).

    摘要: Packet format configurability is extended for packets transported on physical links of an Intellectual Property (IP) core interconnect by using at least two independent parameters: one parameter governing data-width and one parameter governing latency penalty. The at least two independent parameters allow creation of transport protocol packets without additional latency insertion, which is useful for low-latency applications. The at least two independent parameters also allow creation of narrow packets with multi-cycle additional latency, which is useful for latency tolerant, area sensitive applications.

    摘要: A Network-on-Chip (NoC) is provided that performs reordering of transaction responses such as those with requests that cross address mapping boundaries. Ordering is ensured by filtering logic in reorder buffers, some of which include storage to allow multiple simultaneously pending transactions. Transactions are transported by a packet-based transport protocol. The reorder buffering is done at packet level, within the transport topology. Reorder buffers are distributed physically throughout the floorplan of the chip, they have localized connectivity to initiators, and they operate in separate power and clock domains.

    摘要: Memory transactions that are issued just in time have deterministic response delay. By measuring an actual delay and comparing it to an expected delay a memory scheduler can determine whether it is issuing transaction requests too early and can thereby automatically adapt the issue of transaction requests by delaying future transaction requests to be just in time.

    摘要: A probe within a Network-on-Chip (NoC) that can calculate a histogram of transaction data is disclosed. Some such histograms are cycles per number of pending transactions, transactions per latency, and transactions per request delay. The number of pending transactions can be measured by a register that is incremented at the start and decremented at the end of each transaction. Latencies can be measured by timers that are allocated and initialized at the start and read at the end of each transaction. Multiple counters can be used for multiple pending transactions. Multiple banks of counters can be used so that multiple transaction interfaces can complete transactions and perform histogram bin threshold comparisons simultaneously. The thresholds separating histogram bins can be programmable.
