Abstract: A processing system that includes a shared data fabric resets a first client processor while operating a second client processor. The first client processor is instructed to stop making requests to one or more devices of the shared data fabric. Status communications are blocked between the first client processor and a memory controller, the second client processor, or both, such that the first client processor enters a temporary offline state. The first client processor is indicated as being non-coherent. Accordingly, when the processor is reset some errors and efficiency losses due messages sent during or prior to the reset are prevented.

Abstract: A video camera system includes a secondary image generation module and a primary image generation module. The primary image generation module includes a primary imaging unit and a processing unit. The primary imaging unit generates a primary image signal. The processing unit receives the primary image signal and generates a primary digital image signal accordingly. The processing unit receives a secondary digital image signal generated by a secondary image generation module and combines the primary digital image signal and the secondary digital image signal to form a single streaming of multiple-angle image signals. The processing unit is electrically connected to a single signal line for sending the multiple-angle image signals to an external electronic device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for routing traffic between clients and system memory are disclosed. A computing system includes system memory and one or more clients, each capable of generating memory access requests. The computing system also includes a communication fabric for transferring traffic between the clients and the system memory. The fabric includes master units for interfacing with clients and grouping write requests with a same target together. The fabric also includes slave units for interfacing with memory controllers and for sending a single write response when each write request in a group has been serviced. When the master unit receives the single write response for the group, it sends a respective acknowledgment response for each of the multiple write requests in the group to clients that generated the multiple write requests.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a cancel and replay mechanism for ordered requests are disclosed. A system includes at least an ordering master, a memory controller, a coherent slave coupled to the memory controller, and an interconnect fabric coupled to the ordering master and the coherent slave. The ordering master generates a write request which is forwarded to the coherent slave on the path to memory. The coherent slave sends invalidating probes to all processing nodes and then sends an indication that the write request is globally visible to the ordering master when all cached copies of the data targeted by the write request have been invalidated. In response to receiving the globally visible indication, the ordering master starts a timer. If the timer expires before all older requests have become globally visible, then the write request is cancelled and replayed to ensure forward progress in the fabric and avoid a potential deadlock scenario.
