THROUGHPUT OPTIMIZATION FOR BUS PROTOCOLS

摘要

One embodiment provides a master device in a bus system. The master device includes bus interface circuitry to exchange commands and data with a slave device in communication with the master device; and test sequence generation logic to generate at least one test sequence, each test sequence having a corresponding unique clock signal having a unique clock frequency; the test sequence generation logic also to transmit the at least one test sequence and the corresponding unique clock signal to the slave device; the test signal generation logic also to determine, based on feedback from the slave device, if the slave device is capable of communicating with the master device using the unique clock frequency.
