SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING SLAVE TRANSACTION ID WIDTH BASED ON SPARSE CONNECTION IN MULTILAYER MULTILEVEL INTERCONNECT SYSTEM-ON-CHIP ARCHITECTURE

A system and method for optimizing slave transaction ID width based on sparse connection between multiple masters and multiple slaves in a multilayer multilevel interconnect system-on-chip (SOC) architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, slave transaction ID widths are computed for a first processing subsystem and a second processing subsystem including multiple masters and multiple slaves. Further, a slave transaction ID for each master to any slave in the first processing subsystem and in the second processing subsystem is generated based on the computed slave transaction ID width. Furthermore, sparse connection information between the multiple masters and multiple slaves is determined via a first bus matrix in the first processing subsystem. A first optimized slave transaction ID for each master to any slave in the first processing subsystem is then generated by removing don't care bits in each generated slave transaction ID based on the sparse connection information.
