  • Publication number: 20130185477
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a processor, a first read request mapped including a first read request address to a first memory location of a register array and a second read request including a second read request address to a second memory location of a register array. The method includes assigning a first simulated time delay to the first read request and assigning a second simulated time delay to the second read request. The method includes, in response to a first elapsed time being equal to the first simulated time delay, outputting a first read request response including first data. The first elapsed time commences upon receipt of the first read request. The method includes, in response to a second elapsed time being equal to the second simulated time delay, outputting a second read request response including second data. The second elapsed time commences upon receipt of the second read request.

  • Publication number: 20130159591
    Abstract: In an embodiment, load transactions are issued to a bus. The load transactions are stalled if the bus cannot accept additional load transactions, and the load transactions are restarted after the bus can accept the additional load transactions. Responses are received from the bus to the load transactions out-of-order from an order that the load transactions were sent to the bus. The responses comprise data and index values that indicate an order that the load transactions were received by the bus. The data is compared in the order that the load transactions were received by the bus against expected data in the order that the load transaction were sent to the bus.

  • Publication number: 20090187695
    Abstract: Apparatus handles concurrent address translation cache misses and hits under those misses while maintaining command order based upon virtual channel. Commands are stored in a command processing unit that maintains ordering of the commands. A command buffer index is assigned to each address being sent from the command processing unit to an address translation unit. When an address translation cache miss occurs, a memory fetch request is sent. The CBI is passed back to the command processing unit with a signal to indicate that the fetch request has completed. The command processing unit uses the CBI to locate the command and address to be reissued to the address translation unit.
