METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A PLURALITY OF I/O INTERFACES WITH AN ARRAY OF MULTICORE PROCESSOR RESOURCES IN A SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing I/O interfaces with an array of multicore processor resources in a semiconductor chip (Fig. 2). The I/O interfaces are connected to the processor resources through an I/O shim. An I/O interface sends a dataframe to the I/O shim. The I/O interface packetizes data to form the dataframe, based on an I/O protocol. The dataframe includes a header and the data. The 110 shim identifies a command corresponding to the dataframe by using one or more of the processor resources. The command includes a set of tasks. Subsequently, the set of tasks is executed on the data.
