20080235707 | Data processing apparatus and method for performing multi-cycle arbitration - A data processing apparatus and method are provided for arbitrating between multiple access requests seeking to access a plurality of resources sharing a common access path. At least one logic element issues access requests requesting access to the resources, and each access request identifies which of the resources is to be accessed. Arbitration circuitry performs a multi-cycle arbitration operation to arbitrate between multiple access requests to be passed over the common access path, the arbitration circuitry having a plurality of pipeline stages to allow a corresponding plurality of multi-cycle arbitration operations to be in progress at any one time. Filter circuitry is provided which has a plurality of filter states, the number of filter states being dependent on the number of pipeline stages of the arbitration circuitry, and each resource being associated with one of the filter states. For a new multi-cycle arbitration operation to be performed by the arbitration circuitry, the filter circuitry selects one of the filter states that has not been selected for any other multi-cycle arbitration operation already in progress within the pipeline states of the arbitration circuitry. Then, it determines as candidate access requests for the new multi-cycle arbitration operation those access requests that are seeking to access a resource associated with the selected filter state. Such an approach allows efficient multi-cycle arbitration to take place even where the resources may have inter-access timing parameters associated therewith which prevent them from being able to receive access requests every clock cycle. | 09-25-2008 |

20080250290 | Method and Apparatus for Testing a Ring of Non-Scan Latches with Logic Built-in Self-Test - A method and apparatus for loading a ring of non-scan latches for a logic built-in self-test. A logic built-in self-test value is loaded into a scannable latch from the logic built-in self-test. An override control signal is asserted in response to loading the logic built-in self-test value into the scannable latch. A non-scan latch is forced to load the logic built-in self-test value from the scannable latch in response to asserting the override control signal. Logic paths in the ring of non-scan latches are exercised. The non-scan latch is part of the logical paths. The test results are captured from the logic paths and the test results are compared against expected test results to determine if the logic paths within the ring of non-scan latches are functioning properly. | 10-09-2008 |
20090031085 | Directory for Multi-Node Coherent Bus - A method for maintaining cache coherency for a multi-node system using a specialized bridge which allows for fewer forward progress dependencies. A look-up of a local node directory is performed if a request received at a multi-node bridge of the local node is a system request. If a directory entry indicates that data specified in the request has a local owner or local destination, the request is forwarded to the local node. If the local node determines that the request is a local request, a look-up of the local node directory is performed. If the directory entry indicates that data specified in the request has a local owner and local destination, the coherency of the data on the local node is resolved and a transfer of the request data is performed if required. Otherwise, the request is forwarded to all remote nodes in the multi-node system. | 01-29-2009 |
20090031086 | Directory For Multi-Node Coherent Bus - A method for maintaining cache coherency for a multi-node system using a specialized bridge which allows for fewer forward progress dependencies.
