Abstract
Graded throttling for network-on-chip traffic, including: calculating, by an agent of a network-on-chip, a number of outstanding transactions issued by the agent; determining that the number of outstanding transactions meets a threshold; and implementing, by the agent, in response to the number of outstanding transactions meeting the threshold, a traffic throttling policy.
Claims20
A chip with graded throttling for network-on-chip traffic, the chip comprising:
- a network-on-chip;
- a plurality of agents communicatively coupled to the network-on-chip;
- a detector circuit coupled to one or more of the agents, the detector circuit configured to determine that a predefined condition is met and a mediator circuit coupled to the detector circuit and to one or more agents of the plurality of agents, the mediator circuit configured to:
- receive a signal that the predefined condition is met from the detector circuit determining the predefined condition is met and
- transmit, in response to the signal from the detector circuit, an indication to implement a traffic throttling policy to the one or more agents of the plurality of agents.
2 more elements
A method of graded throttling for network-on-chip traffic, the method comprising:
- determining, by a detector circuit of a network on-chip that a predefined condition is met
- sending a signal from the detector circuit to a mediator circuit and
- sending, in response to the signal, an indication to implement a traffic throttling policy from the mediator circuit to each of a plurality of agents.
