Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are described for a communication system. The communication system comprises an initiator core supporting a first burst capability as well as a target core supporting a second burst capability. The supported burst features of the second burst capability differ from the supported burst features of the first burst capability. The communication system also comprises an agent coupled to the initiator core, which comprises logic to compute target-dependent burst support information across multiple groups of potential targets at the same time. The logic then selects the correct target-dependent information based upon a resulting address decode for the target selection.
