  2. MCV2 - Overview Per client interface (readrequest or writedata) (state + readdata) to / from clients Direct link with clients (two signals per client) Allocate entries & split/distribute By default shared by all clients (special mode: pseudo “split” per ROP, simulated using counters) Global Request Buffer (RB) Splitting/distribution is done when allocating a request in the RB Splitter/Distributor Ch0 Ch7 Structure to allow out of order processing among banks (not required by baseline scheduler) B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 Select (oldest first) Select (oldest first) Channel Schedulers protocol ChannelRequest ChannelReply Channel State (per bank) … ChannelRequest ChannelReply Channel State (per bank) • 1R+1W Fifo • nRW Fifos • nR+nW Fifos • nRW Lookahead buffers ChannelScheduler 0 ChannelScheduler 7 ChipRequest ChipReply ChipRequest ChipReply GDDR3/4 protocol GDDR3Chip0 GDDR3Chip7

  3. Simulate a split RB with counters • Only possible for ROP clients and when ROPs are assigned to specific channels. • TextureUnits and other clients keep using the RB as shared. • Split for these clients requires a more complex solution than just counters, very likely implementing a real RB split.

  4. ROPs distributed among channels • ropCounter[nROPS] • Each ropCounter[i] keeps how many transactions are allocated by each ROP • If a counter ropCounter[i] reaches RBsize/nROPS then the MC sends MT_NONE token to the specific ROPi (no more transaction accepted) • Units different than ROPs only take into account RBsize to decide whether more transactions are accepted or not
