Abstract

Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for communicating information between functional blocks of a system across a communications fabric. A first functional block communicates a single request fully describing attributes of a two-dimensional data block across the communication fabric to a second functional block capable of decoding the single request to obtain the attributes of the two-dimensional data block. At least one of the functional blocks transmits data associated with the single request across the communication fabric.
