Assignee: ARM LIMITED
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. Data processing circuitry comprising:
configuration reception circuitry to receive configuration data from recipient circuitry, the configuration data identifying a set of two or more candidate storage devices and corresponding persistence characteristics of the two or more candidate storage devices;
generator circuitry configured to generate a data communication packet comprising at least payload data and a target address for storage, by the recipient circuitry configured to operate as recipient circuitry, of the payload data, wherein the target address belongs to a particular address space;
control circuitry configured to determine, based on an indication of a required storage classification at the recipient circuitry, a storage classification for the payload data of the data communication packet, the determined storage classification indicating a degree of persistence to be applied to that payload data by the recipient circuitry and indicative of one or more storage devices selected from the set of two or more candidate storage devices identifier in the configuration data; and
packet transmission circuitry configured to transmit the data communication packet with a predetermined data field specifying a data placement attribute corresponding to the determined storage classification to the recipient circuitry.
