ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A COMMUNICATION

摘要

An electronic device is provided which comprises a plurality of processing units (IP1-IP6) and a flit-synchronous network-based interconnect (N) for coupling the processing units (IP1-IP6). The network-based interconnect (N) comprises at least one first and at least one second link. The at least one second link comprises N pipeline stages. The communication via the at least one second link and the N pipeline stages constitutes a word-asynchronous communication.
