A system for consistently implementing reset and power management of IP agents on a System on a Chip (SoC). When IP agents undergo a reset, an individual negotiation takes placed between an interconnect and each IP agent over a link. Each IP agent can emerge from reset at its own time schedule, independently of the timing of the other IP agents. The interconnect may be configured as a proxy for any IP agent that is inoperable, including prior to reset, when in a power-down mode, or malfunctioning.

Protocol level control for system on a chip (SoC) agent reset and power management

Optimizing transaction traffic on a System on a Chip (SoC) by using procedures such as expanding transactions and consolidating responses at nodes of an interconnect fabric for broadcasts, multi-casts, any-casts, source based routing type transactions, intra-streaming two or more transactions over a stream defined by a paired virtual channel-transaction class, trunking physical resources sharing common logical identifier, and using hashing to select among multiple physical resources sharing a common logical identifier.

Arbitrating among portions of multiple transactions and transmitting a winning portion over one of a multiplicity of virtual channels associated with an interconnect on a clock cycle-by-clock cycle basis. By repeatedly performing the above each clock cycle, winning portions are interleaved and transmitted over the multiplicity of virtual channels over multiple clock cycles respectively.
