Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for routing traffic between clients and system memory are disclosed. A computing system includes system memory and one or more clients, each capable of generating memory access requests. The computing system also includes a communication fabric for transferring traffic between the clients and the system memory. The fabric includes master units for interfacing with clients and grouping write requests with a same target together. The fabric also includes slave units for interfacing with memory controllers and for sending a single write response when each write request in a group has been serviced. When the master unit receives the single write response for the group, it sends a respective acknowledgment response for each of the multiple write requests in the group to clients that generated the multiple write requests.
