12.8 System Interface Cycle Time
Cluster Request Spacing
Processor internal activity determines the minimum and maximum number of unused cycles allowed between the requests within a cluster.
- The minimum number of unused cycles allowed between requests within a cluster is 0: in other words, the requests can be adjacent.
- The maximum number of unused cycles separating requests within a cluster varies depending on the requests that form the cluster.
Table 12-8 summarizes the minimum and maximum number of unused cycles allowed between requests within a cluster.
