[Model Semantics] how dataRates relate to frequency domain [message #1827379]

There are several components (Memory/Cache/HwConnection/ConnectionHandler) which define a DataRate as access latency description. Although the data rate could be only some average value or a concrete physical bitrate, there is the question, whether the resulting delay (size/dataRate) should always be a multiple of the frequency domain or could be something in between.

Extremely exaggerated example:
FreqencyDomain is 10Hz, DataRate is 200Bit/sec, and we transmit 150 Bit. Should the transfer end after 0.75 seconds or ceiled to 0.8 seconds (next clock edge) ?

The Access/Read/Write Latencies are related to the actual frequency and use an IDiscreteValueDeviation, with the same logic the above example would be 0.8 seconds.

Hi Benjamin,

good question. It is not clearly specified in the documentation, I would recommend to do it in the same way like we do it for the latencies and relate it to the actual frequency of the component. In general I think for higher frequencies the difference is very small of even negligible. For smaller frequencies it is more important.
I also would like to mention that it is slightly different for HwConnections compared to modules like Memory, PU, etc. The HwConnection doesn't have a direct frequency domain reference. In this case the following rule applies (copied out of the documentation):
"the frequency is always provided by the element which is in front of the HwConnection in the HwAccessPath" --> e.g. The ConnectionHandler for the HwConnection which connects the ConnectionHandler with the Memory.

Greetings
