OCP International Partnership © The ONLY complete and proven SoC socket… Important OCP Facts
OCP International Partnership © IP Core Target Bus A Target Bus B OR OCP Interface SOCKET SOCKET IS NOT A BUS INTERFACE Core-centric Interface Note: OCP separates the computational IP core from its communication activity. White Paper available re: Sockets at
OCP International Partnership © Enables IP core creation independent of system architecture and application domain Describes all inter-core communications Optimizes die area by configuring into the OCP interface only those features needed by the core Specified timing categories assure core interoperability Facilitates rapid, plug-and-play IP integration OCP: The only Complete and Proven SoC Socket
OCP International Partnership © Exceptional flexibility Structured method for inclusion of sideband signals: high-level flow control, interrupts, power control, device configuration registers, test modes, etc. Synchronous, unidirectional signaling allows simplified implementation, integration and timing analysis Configurable address and data word width Transfers may be pipelined to any depth for increased throughput Optional burst transfers for higher efficiency Multiple concurrent transfers use thread identifiers for out-of-order completion Connection identifiers provide end-to-end traffic identification for differential quality of service, etc. Synchronization primitives include atomic test-set, lazy synchronization, non-posted write commands System-wide hardware cache coherence enabled through additional coherence transactions Optional core disconnect scheme to support power management techniques OCP: Defines a Complete SoC Socket
OCP International Partnership © OCP – Applications Served – Shipping Over One Billion Units, Annually Set-top Boxes PrintersMobile Phones Wireless LANs Game Consoles Video RecordersDTVs Note: OCP usage is expanding in both FPGA and military applications (both low and high volumes) Switches DVD Players Computers
OCP International Partnership © OCP-IP Mission ….to promote and support OCP as the complete socket standard that ensures rapid creation and integration of interoperable IP cores. What is OCP-IP?
