Abstract
A communication system has a monitor, memory and one or more resources. The memory is connected to the monitor by a bus and stores tasks and data. Each of the resources is connected to the monitor by the bus and performs a function or executes a program. The bus is implemented by a plurality of adjacent sections, each section being implemented as an ASIC connected to a resource. Each ASIC is arranged to assign sub busses of the bus with variable width.
Claims20
A communication system comprising a monitor, memory, a bus and a plurality of resources, said memory being connected to the monitor via said bus and arranged for storing tasks and data, each of said resources being connected to the monitor via said bus and arranged for at least one of performing a function and executing a program, wherein said bus is implemented by a plurality of adjacent sections, each section being implemented as an ASIC connected to at least one of said plurality of resources, said ASIC being arranged to assign sub busses of said bus with variable width.
Method of operating a communication system comprising a monitor, memory, a bus and a plurality of resources, said memory being connected to the monitor via said bus and storing tasks and data, each of said resources being connected to the monitor via said bus, said bus being implemented by a plurality of adjacent sections, each section being implemented as an ASIC connected to at least one of said plurality of resources, said method comprising:
- assigning sub busses of said bus with variable width;
- and,
- transmitting communications between said monitor, said memory and said plurality of resources via said sub busses.
