    Abstract: To enable efficient tracking of transactions, an acknowledgement expected signal is used to give the cache coherent interconnect a hint for whether a transaction requires coherent ownership tracking. This signal informs the cache coherent interconnect to expect an ownership transfer acknowledgement signal from the initiating master upon read/write transfer completion. The cache coherent interconnect can therefore continue tracking the transaction at its point of coherency until it receives the acknowledgement from the initiating master only when necessary.

    Abstract: The barrier-aware bridge tracks all outstanding transactions from the attached master. When a barrier transaction is sent from the master, it is tracked by the bridge, along with a snapshot of the current list of outstanding transactions, in a separate barrier tracking FIFO. Each barrier is separately tracked with whatever transactions that are outstanding at that time. As outstanding transaction responses are sent back to the master, their tracking information is simultaneously cleared from every barrier FIFO entry.

    Abstract: An asynchronous dual domain bridge is implemented between the cache coherent master and the coherent system interconnect. The bridge has 2 halves, one in each clock/powerdown domain—master and interconnect. The asynchronous bridge is aware of the bus protocols used by each individual processor within the attached subsystem, and can perform the appropriate protocol conversion on each processor's transactions to adapt the transaction to/from the bus protocol used by the interconnect.

    Abstract: This invention mitigates these deadlocking issues by a adding a separate non-blocking pipeline for snoop returns. This separate pipeline would not be blocked behind coherent requests. This invention also repartitions the master initiated traffic to move cache evictions (both with and without data) and non-coherent writes to the new non-blocking channel. This non-blocking pipeline removes the need for any coherent requests to complete before the snoop request can reach the memory controller. Repartitioning cache initiated evictions to the non-blocking pipeline prevents deadlock when snoop and eviction occur concurrently. The non-blocking channel of this invention combines snoop responses from memory controller initiated requests and master initiated evictions/non-coherent writes.

    Abstract: An asynchronous dual domain bridge is implemented between the cache coherent master and the coherent system interconnect. The bridge has 2 halves, one in each clock/powerdown domain-master and interconnect. The powerdown mechanism is isolated to just the asynchronous bridge implemented between the master and the interconnect with a basic request/acknowledge handshake between the master subsystem and the asynchronous bridge.
