Abstract
A group of low-level FIFOs may be logically bound together to form a super-FIFO. The super-FIFO may treat each low-level FIFO as a storage location. The super-FIFO may enable a push to (or a pop from) every low-level FIFO, simultaneously. The super-FIFO may enable a virtual channel (VC) to use the super-FIFO, bypassing a VC FIFO for the VC, removing several cycles of latency otherwise needed for enqueuing and dequeuing messages in the VC FIFO. In addition, the super-FIFO may enable bypassing of an arbiter, further reducing latency by avoiding a penalty of the arbiter.
