Handling a One-to-Multiple Handshake with Asynchronous Completion

Abstract

Techniques and apparatuses are described for handling a one-to-multiple handshake with asynchronous completion. In example aspects, a system-on-chip is implemented with at least one handler, at least one second entity, and at least one subsystem having multiple first entities and at least one scheduler. To facilitate communications between the multiple first entities of the subsystem and the second entity, the handler performs a request-and-acknowledgement handshake with the scheduler. Additionally, the handler performs multiple request-and-acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity. The handler completes the request-and-acknowledgement handshake with the scheduler based on the completion of the multiple request-and-acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity. This enables the handler to address a situation in which the multiple request-and acknowledgement handshakes with the second entity complete in an asynchronous manner.
