13.6 Last Access Host

After the end of the current access, if no other request is pending, the client remains connected to the last host that performed an access request.

This enables the MATRIX to remove the one latency cycle for the last host that accessed the client. Other non-privileged hosts still get one latency clock cycle if they need to access the same client. This technique is useful for hosts that mainly perform single accesses or short bursts with some Idle cycles in-between.

This configuration provides no benefit on access latency or bandwidth when reaching maximum client bus throughput whatever is the number of requesting hosts.
