Multi-master cache coherent speculation aware memory controller with advanced arbitration, virtualization and EDC

摘要

This invention is an integrated memory controller/interconnect that provides very high bandwidth access to both on-chip memory and externally connected off-chip memory. This invention includes an arbitration for all memory endpoints including priority, fairness, and starvation bounds; virtualization; and error detection and correction hardware to protect the on-chip SRAM banks including automated scrubbing.
