Abstract:
A communication system is arranged to interface a plurality of transmission circuits with an interconnection network. Each transmission circuit generates read requests and/or write requests. The communication system includes a first circuit that operates independently of the communication protocol of the interconnection network. In particular, the first circuit includes, a) for each transmission circuit a communication interface configured for receiving the read requests and/or write requests from the respective transmission circuit, b) a segmentation circuit configured for dividing, i.e., segmenting, the read requests and/or write requests received from the transmission circuits into transfer segments, and c) an interleaving circuit configured for generating, via an operation of interleaving of the transfer segments, a series of segments. The communication system also includes a second circuit configured for converting the transfer segments of the series of segments into data packets according to the protocol of the interconnection network and for transmitting the data packets to the interconnection network.
