Abstract
Selected portions of an uncore fabric of a system-on-a-chip (SoC) or other embedded system are divided into two independent pipelines. Each pipeline operates independently of the other pipeline, and each accesses only one-half of the system memory, such as even or odd addresses in an interleaved memory. However, the two pipelines are tightly coupled to maintain coherency of the fabric. Coupling may be accomplished, for example, by a shared clock that is one-half of the base clock cycle for the fabric. Each incoming address may be processed by a deterministic hash, assigned to one of the pipelines, processed through memory, and then passed to a credit return.
