<p>Quality-of-Service (QoS) is an important system-level requirement in the design and implementation of on-chip networks. QoS requirements can be implemented in an on-chip-interconnect by providing for at least two signals indicating priority at a transaction-level interface where one signal transfers information in-band with the transaction and the other signal transfers information out-of-band with the transaction. The signals can be processed by the on-chip-interconnect to deliver the required QoS. In addition, the disclosed embodiments can be extended to a Network-on-Chip (NoC).</p> |
