Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to allocating bandwidth. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, respective amounts of bandwidth are allocated to respective application groups for each memory access cycle in a set of memory access cycles. Initial bonus bandwidth is provided to a first one of the application groups during one of the memory access cycles. The bonus bandwidth may include at least a portion of bandwidth allocated to and unused by one of the other respective application groups during the memory access cycle. Additional bonus bandwidth is selectively provided to the first application group during one of the memory access cycles based on the initial bonus bandwidth and a maximum amount of bonus bandwidth defined for the set of memory access cycles, in response to bandwidth allocated to one of the other respective application groups during the subsequent memory access cycle being unused.

Abstract: A system-on-chip (SoC) may include a plurality of terminals and a plurality of terminal controllers. Each terminal controller is configured to selectively disable a terminal. An SoC be configured to execute at least one application. An SoC may include a memory configured to store a plurality of terminal masks. Each terminal mask identifies a subset of the plurality of terminals to be disabled. An SoC may include a fault collection and reaction system configured to transmit, to the plurality of terminal controllers, a fault indication signal in response to an error in a corresponding application. Each terminal controller is further configured to determine, based on a fault indication signal and a value in a terminal mask, whether the terminal corresponding to the terminal controller is to be disabled, and when the terminal corresponding to the terminal controller is to be disabled, disable the terminal.

Abstract: An adaptive prefetcher for a shared system cache of a processing system including multiple requestors having a cache miss monitor and a prefetch controller. The cache miss monitor monitors requests for information from memory and identifies one of the requestors for which an identified cache line is requested. The prefetch controller submits an adaptive request for a subsequent cache line. The subsequent cache line may be determined based on a latency comparison between a loop latency (LL) of the prefetch controller and a stream latency (SL) of the identified requestor. A latency memory may be included that stores stream latencies for the requestors. The latency comparison may be used to determine how many cache lines to skip relative to the identified cache line, such as according to SL*SK<LL?SL*(SK+1) in which SK is the number of cache lines to skip.
