Filed: 2016-10-07
Abstract: Safety logic of a process control system is verified by accessing safety control logic for the process control system and creating a test Cause and Effect Matrix (CEM) 1520 and comparing 1540 it to a requirement defining CEM 1530. The safety control logic controls based upon a set of causes and a set of effects, wherein each of the set of causes represents a condition within the process plant and each of the set of effects represents an effect to be performed within the process plant. The safety control logic is implemented as a plurality of interconnected functions blocks, each of the plurality of interconnected function blocks having a set of inputs, a set of outputs and function block logic. Based on the plurality of function blocks of the safety control logic, the test cause and effect matrix (CEM) is generated.

The function blocks may include interconnected monitor blocks wherein the safety control logic is distributed within the monitor block logic. The test CEM may be generated by traversing through the one or more monitor or effect blocks. Discrepancies may be used to identify the associated function blocks, and the associated function blocks displayed.

Title: An apparatus and method for handling memory access requests
Inventor: JAMSHED JALAL
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2021-05-20
Abstract: A technique for handling memory access requests is described. An apparatus has an interconnect for coupling a plurality of requester elements with a plurality of slave elements. The plurality of requester elements are arranged to issue memory access requests for processing by the plurality of slave elements. An intermediate element within the interconnect acts as a point of serialisation to order the memory access requests issued by the plurality of requester elements via the intermediate element. The intermediate element has tracking circuitry for tracking handling of the memory access requests accepted by the intermediate element. Further, request acceptance management circuitry is provided that, in response to receipt by the intermediate element of a given memory access request, is arranged to identify a target slave element amongst the plurality of slave elements for that given memory access request, and to determine whether the given memory access request is to be accepted by the intermediate element dependent on an indication of bandwidth capability for the target slave element. Such an approach can improve overall system bandwidth utilisation.
