Multi-Threaded Programming Interface
With the old PCI bus, a read or write bus cycle is atomic PCI Express is more complicated. A read may requires multiple completion packets to complete the read request., In reality, multiple reads from different threads may mixed together. This is especially true for devices that support virtualization. Do you plan to verify such scenario on your ASIC? If you answer yes, your verification environment must be multi-threaded.
PCIE-VR adopts the same programming
environment in
as the default. It can also be used with any other
multi-thread environment or kernel, such as SystemC or Linux
Posix thread via callback functions.
