Original Abstract Submitted
implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for reducing design complexity and critical path timing challenges of credit return logic. a wide bus supports simultaneous transmission of multiple flits, one per lane of the wide bus. a source device transmitting flits on a wide bus selects from among multiple credit return options to ensure that only one of the multiple flits being simultaneously transmitted includes a credit return value. in some example embodiments, the receiving device checks only the flit of one lane of the wide bus (e.g., lane ) for credit return data. in other example embodiments, the receiving device uses a bitwise-or to combine the credit return data of all received flits in a single cycle.
