20080235423 | Data processing apparatus and method for arbitrating between messages routed over a communication channel - A data processing apparatus and method are provided for arbitrating between messages routed over a communication channel. The data processing apparatus has a plurality of processing elements, each processing element executing a process requiring messages to be issued to recipient elements, and a communication channel shared amongst those processing elements over which the messages are routed. Arbitration circuitry performs an arbitration process to arbitrate between multiple messages routed over the communication channel. Each processing element issues progress data for the process executing on that processing element, the progress data indicating latency implications for the process. Arbitration control circuitry is then responsive to the progress data from each processing element to perform a priority ordering process taking into account the latency implications of each process as indicated by the progress data in order to generate priority ordering data. That priority ordering data is then output to the arbitration circuitry in order to control the arbitration process. This enables quality of service to be determined and allocated automatically between the various processes, without the need to know the requirements of the processes in advance, and the prioritisation mechanism adapts dynamically to changes in communication between the processes. | 09-25-2008 |

20110066780 | Data processing apparatus and method for measuring a value of a predetermined property of transactions - A data processing apparatus and method for measuring a value of a predetermined property of transactions are provided. The data processing apparatus has initiator circuitry for initiating transactions, recipient circuitry for handling each transaction initiator by the initiator circuitry, and a communication path interconnecting the initiator circuitry and the recipient circuitry via which the transactions are propagated between the initiator circuitry and the recipient circuitry. Measurement circuitry is coupled to the communication path for measuring a value of a predetermined property of the transactions, such as the latency of those transactions. The measurement circuitry has active transaction count circuitry for maintaining an indication of the number of transactions in progress, and accumulator circuitry for maintaining an accumulator value which is increased dependent on the number of transactions in progress. Further, a value register is provided for maintaining an estimate of the value of the predetermined property. Each time a transaction in progress reaches a predetermined point, for example a transaction end point, the accumulator value is decreased dependent on the estimate currently stored in the value register, and further the estimate stored in the value register is updated dependent on the accumulator value. Via this feedback mechanism, the estimate stored in the value register quickly settles to the actual value of the predetermined property being measured, and accordingly such measurement circuitry provides a simple, low cost and flexible mechanism for measuring the value of a predetermined property of transactions. | 03-17-2011 |
20110072178 | Data processing apparatus and a method for setting priority levels for transactions - A data processing apparatus and method for setting priority levels for transactions is provided. The data processing apparatus has a shared resource for processing transactions, and at least one master device for issuing the transactions to the shared resource. The at least one master device provides a plurality of sources of the transactions, and each of the transactions has a priority level associated therewith. Arbitration circuitry is used to apply an arbitration policy to select a transaction from amongst multiple transactions issued to the shared resource, the arbitration policy using the priority level associated with each of the multiple transactions when performing the selection. Adaptive priority circuitry is associated with at least one of the sources, the adaptive priority circuitry monitoring throughput indication data for previously issued transactions from the associated source, and for each new transaction from the associated source, setting the priority level to one of a plurality of predetermined priority levels dependent on the throughput indication data. Through such a mechanism, the adaptive priority circuitry sets the lowest priority level from amongst the plurality of predetermined priority levels that will enable a specified target throughput to be achieved. The adaptive priority circuitry hence uses a feedback mechanism to control the priority level assigned to each new transaction from a source in order to target a specified throughput for the source, and through this mechanism finds the lowest priority necessary to achieve the throughput objectives independent of the activity of other sources within the system. | 03-24-2011 |
20120210055 | Controlling latency and power consumption in a memory - Memory circuitry, a data processing apparatus and a method of storing data are disclosed. The memory circuitry comprises: a memory for storing the data; and control circuitry for controlling power consumption of the memory by controlling a rate of access to the memory such that an average access delay between adjacent accesses is maintained at or above a predetermined value; wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine a priority of an access request to the memory and to maintain the average access delay at or above the predetermined value by delaying at least some accesses from access requests having a lower priority for longer than at least some accesses from access requests having a higher priority. | 08-16-2012 |
20130036465 | Security controller - A security controller has first and second read request paths for performing security checking of read requests received from a master device and for controlling issuing of the read request to a safe device. If the first read request path is selected for an incoming read request then the first read request path controls issuing of the read request in dependence on result of the security checking. If the second read request path is selected, then the incoming read request is issued without waiting for a result of the security checking, and tracking data is stored indicating the result of the security checking. When receiving a response to a read request issued using the second read request path, a response path modifies the response to mask read data if the tracking data stored for the corresponding read request indicates that a security violation occurred. | 02-07-2013 |
20130042032 | Dynamic resource allocation for transaction requests issued by initiator devices to recipient devices - Initiator devices for generating transaction requests and recipient devices for receiving them are disclosed. The recipient devices accept transaction requests where there is available buffer storage for the transaction request. If there is no storage space available an acknowledgement signal generator generates and outputs a reject acknowledgement signal indicating a request has been received but has not been accepted by the recipient device. A credit generator can reserve at least one available storage location in the buffer and generate a credit grant for an initiator device that sent one of the transaction requests that was not accepted by the recipient device. The credit grant indicates to the initiator device that there is at least one reserved storage location, such that a subsequent transaction request from the initiator device will be accepted by the recipient device. Thus, the initiator device may not transmit the transaction request again until it has received the credit grant, whereupon it may transmit it along with a credit grant indicator such that it is sure that it will be accepted. | 02-14-2013 |
