INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH DYNAMIC COMMUNICATION SERVICE SELECTION

An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of modules (M 1 to M 5 , CPU) for processing applications, a global memory (GM), which can be shared by said plurality of modules (M 1 to M 5 , CPU), an interconnect means (IM) for interconnecting said modules (M 1 to M 5 , CPU) and said global memory (GM) based on a plurality of communication services (C 1 , C 2 ) is provided. Said integrated circuit further comprises at least one communication managing unit (CMU) for managing the communication between said plurality of modules (M 1 to M 5 ), wherein said communication managing unit (CMU) receives a request for a communication between at least two of said modules (M 1 to M 5 , CPU) and dynamically selects one of said plurality of communication services (C 1 , C 2 ) as basis for the requested communication between said modules (MI to M 5 , CPU).
