INTEGRIERTER SCHALTKREIS UND VERFAHREN ZUM ERSTELLEN VON TRANSAKTIONEN

摘要

An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of processing modules M, S and a network N; RN arranged for providing at least one connection between a first and at least one second module M, S is provided. Said connection supports transactions comprising outgoing messages from the first module to the second modules and return messages from the second modules to the first module. Said integrated circuit comprises at least one dropping means DM for dropping data exchanged by said first and second module M, S. Accordingly, an alternative scheme for transaction completion is provided, where full and immediate transaction completion is merely applied for certain cases. The invention is based on the idea to allow the dropping of data in certain cases.
