Implementation options
All Cortex-A76 cores in the cluster must have the same build-time configuration options, except for the
L2 cache size.
The following table lists the implementation options for a core.

L2 cache size
•
128KB
•
256KB
•
512KB
-
L2 transaction queue size
•
24 entries
•
36 entries
•
48 entries
There are two identical L2 banks in the
Cortex-A76 core that can be configured
with 12, 18, or 24 L2 transaction queue
entries per L2 bank.
L1 and L2 ECC or parity protection
Can be included or not included.
L1 and L2 error protection can only be
enabled if L3 cache error protection is
enabled.
Cryptographic Extension
Can be included or not included.

Core bus width
128-bit, 256-bit
This specifies the bus width between the
core and the DSU CPU bridge. The legal
core bus width and master bus width
combinations are:
•
If the core bus width is 128 bits, the
master bus interface can be any of the
following options.
— Single 128-bit wide ACE interface.
— Dual 128-bit wide ACE interfaces.
— Single 128-bit wide CHI interface.
— Single 256-bit wide CHI interface.
•
If the core bus width is 256 bits, the
master bus interface is a single 256-bit
wide CHI interface.
