Abstract
An apparatus is provided for converting the form in which a synchronisation request for a barrier synchronisation is provided. The synchronisation request is provided from a first synchronisation circuitry to a second synchronisation circuitry by asserting one of a set of separate signals that may each correspond to a bit in a register or a signal on a wire. The second synchronisation circuitry provides for the packetisation of the sync request by sending a packet comprising the sync request over a network to be received at a further subsystem.
