Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for communicating information between functional blocks of a system across a communication fabric. Rate logic may couple to the communication fabric. The rate logic is configured to determine a data bandwidth difference between a first data bandwidth capability of the sending device and the lower of 1) a second data bandwidth capability of the sending device or 2) a third data bandwidth capability of the communication fabric.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for communicating information between functional blocks of a system across a communication fabric. Translation logic couples to the communication fabric. The translation logic implements a higher level protocol layered on top of an underlining protocol and the communication fabric. The translation logic converts one initiator transaction into two or more write transactions and then transmits the write transactions using the underlining protocol of the communication fabric. The translation logic converts the initiator transaction into two or more write transactions and then transmits the write transactions using the underlining protocol of the communication fabric so that the communication fabric does not block or poll for responses, and that data may be transferred in a direction opposite from the initiator transaction request.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for communicating information between functional blocks of a system across a communications fabric. A first functional block communicates a single request fully describing attributes of a two-dimensional data block across the communication fabric to a second functional block capable of decoding the single request to obtain the attributes of the two-dimensional data block. At least one of the functional blocks transmits data associated with the single request across the communication fabric.
