1. Integrated circuit having a plurality of processing modules (M, S) and an interconnect means (N) for coupling said plurality of processing modules (M, S) and for enabling a device-level communication based on transactions between said plurality of processing modules (M, S), wherein at least one first processing module (M) issues at least one transaction towards at least one second processing module (S) comprising:

  • at least one transaction abortion unit (TAU) for aborting at least one transaction issued from said first module by receiving an abort request (abt) issued by said first module (M), by initiating a discard of said at least one transaction to be aborted, and by issuing a response (abt_ack) indicating the success/failure of the requested transaction abortion.
