Abstract: An interrupt controller for controlling processing of interrupt requests by a plurality of processing units. The processing units have at least two modes: an active mode and an inactive mode. The interrupt controller comprises a controller input, an interrupt router coupled to the controller input and a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit outputs a routing change signal to the interrupt router if it determines that a selected processing unit, to which, in response to a received interrupt request, an execution of an interrupt service routine was initially routed, is in inactive mode while a preselected one is in the active mode. The interrupt router reroutes the execution of the interrupt service routine to the preselected processing unit.

Abstract: A technique for handling cache-inhibited operations in a data processing system includes receiving, at a topology specific replicated bus unit, a cache-inhibited (CI) operation that is scope limited. The replicated bus unit determines whether an address associated with the CI operation matches an address for the replicated bus unit. In response to the address associated with the CI operation matching the address for the replicated bus unit, the replicated bus unit processes the CI operation based on the scope being limited to that of the replicated bus unit. In response to the address associated with the CI operation not matching the address for the replicated bus unit, the replicated bus unit ignores the CI operation.

Abstract: The present invention classifies all critical paths into two basic types: a series critical path and a feedback critical path, and divides each of wave-pipelined circuits into two components: a static logic part, called critical path component (CPC), and a dynamic logic part, formalized into four wave-pipelining components (WPC) shared by all wave-pipelined circuits.

Each WPC has new wave constants which play the same role as generic constants do, but whose initial values are determined and assigned by a synthesizer after code analysis, so designers can use after-synthesization information in their code before synthesization for wave-pipelining technology.
