A high-speed processor core having a plurality of individual FPGA-based processing elements configured in a synchronous or asynchronous pipeline architecture with direct processor-to-memory interconnectivity that avoids the latency and bus contention delays of FPGAs using conventional bused memory.

The high-speed processor core has one or more memory structures such as SDRAM or QDR electronic memory and is electrically coupled directly to one or more FPGAs using an access lead network to provide a pipelined set of FPGA-based processor elements for processing one or more predetermined operations such as one or more detection algorithms at line rates.

A multiple bus architecture includes multiple processors, and one or more shared peripherals such as memory. The architecture includes plural bus masters, each connected to its own bus. There are also plural bus slaves, each connected to its own bus. A bus arbitration module selectively interconnects the buses, so that when the plural bus masters each access a different bus slave, no blocking occurs, and when the plural bus masers each access a same bus slave, bandwidth starvation is avoided. The architecture is supported by a bus arbitration method including hierarchical application of an interrupt-based method, an assigned slot rotation method and a round-robin method, which avoids both bandwidth starvation and lockout during extended periods of bus contention.

A variable write back indicator control is provided to control the amount of data to be re-transmitted when a packet error occurs. A hardware controller obtains an indication that an acknowledge rate or an amount of set write back indicators of a data frame is to be adjusted. The indication is based on an error rate of data transmission over a communication bus. Based on obtaining the indication that the amount of set write back indicators is to be adjusted, one or more write back indicators are adjusted.

There is disclosed a protocol which can use the existing network bandwidth limitations for transmission during at least the bus contention period after which the remaining portion of the data should be collision-free but allow for a choice of signalling rate within the frame after that bus contention period for the payload data to be transmitted, thus allowing the use of a different data rate in parts of a frame. Additionally there is disclosed advantages to be gained by making best use of available but otherwise not used network bandwidth capability at different parts of the transmission of a frame, such that the protocol enhancement should be compatible with existing installed devices and associated controllable arrangements, so that a system existing in a network can be upgraded, by adding one or more of the devices and associated controllable arrangements which can transmit and receive both the original standard (typically lower) data rate as well as the newer (typically higher) data rate transmissions, at the convenience of the owner of the network without a cost burden associated with replacement or the upgrading of all existing devices or associated controllable arrangements.

A method for efficiently detecting bus contention from a register transfer level (RTL) description is provided. A bus contention occurs if more than two components try to propagate data onto a bus at the same time. The provided method simulates possible input combinations and detects whether there is a possibility for a bus contention.
