ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for position dependent data scheduling for communication of data for different domains along a bus is provided. Having an awareness of the relative position of different domains along a bus, one embodiment of the invention schedules bus operations to allow data from multiple bus operations to be simultaneously present on the bus while preventing interference among the data. The invention is compatible with buses having a termination on one end and those having terminations on both ends. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, bus operations are scheduled so that first data of a first bus operation involving a first domain are not present at domains involved in a second bus operation at times that would result in interference with second data of the second bus operation.
