Apparatus and method for scalable error detection and reporting

A method comprising:

• detecting an error in a component of a first processing block of a processing device;
• communicating first error data related to the error to a local interface, the local interface to combine the first error data with second error data received from one or more other components associated with the first processing block to generate first accumulated error data;
• communicating the first accumulated error data to a master interface, the master interface to combine the first accumulated error data with second accumulated error data received from at least one other local interface to generate third accumulated error data;
• and
• providing the third accumulated error data to a host executing an application to process the third accumulated error data.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having program code stored thereon which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform:

• detecting an error in a component of a first processing block of a processing device;
• communicating first error data related to the error to a local interface, the local interface to combine the first error data with second error data received from one or more other components associated with the first processing block to generate first accumulated error data;
• communicating the first accumulated error data to a master interface, the master interface to combine the first accumulated error data with second accumulated error data received from at least one other local interface to generate third accumulated error data;
• and
• providing the third accumulated error data to a host executing an application to process the third accumulated error data.
