Publication number: 20160191420Abstract: In an example, selected portions of an uncore fabric of a system-on-a-chip (SoC) or other embedded system is divided into two independent pipelines. Each pipeline operates independently of the other pipeline, and each accesses only one-half of the system memory, such as even or odd addresses in an interleaved memory. The two pipelines do not reconverge until after memory values have been returned. However, the uncore fabric may still present a single, monolithic interface to requesting devices. This allows system designers to treat the uncore fabric as a “black box” without modifying existing designs. Each incoming address may be processed by a deterministic hash, assigned to one of the pipelines, processed through memory, and then passed to a credit return.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2014Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Ramadass Nagarajan, Michael Todd Frederick
