ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for streamlined handshaking between state machines. Under the handshake protocol of the present invention, an initiator state machine sends a request for execution of a task to a target state machine. The target state machine sends an ARM signal to the initiator state machine. When high, the ARM signal indicates to the initiator that the target state machine will begin executing a requested task at the beginning of the next clock cycle. When low, the ARM signal indicates to the initiator that the target state machine will not execute a requested task.
