Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A chip with graded throttling for network-on-chip traffic, the chip comprising:
a network-on-chip;
a plurality of agents communicatively coupled to the network-on-chip;
a detector circuit coupled to one or more of the plurality of agents, the detector circuit configured to determine that a predefined condition is met; and
a mediator circuit coupled to the detector circuit and to one or more agents of the plurality of agents, the mediator circuit configured to:
receive a signal that the predefined condition is met from the detector circuit; and
transmit, in response to the signal from the detector circuit, an indication to implement a traffic throttling policy to the one or more agents of the plurality of agents using an unrouted signal path between the mediator circuit and the one or more agents of the plurality of agents.
