Abstract:
A method is described. The method includes configuring a first instance of object code to execute on a processor. The processor has multiple cores and an internal network. The internal network is configured in a first configuration that enables a first number of the cores to be communicatively coupled. The method also includes configuring a second instance of the object code to execute on a second instance of the processor. A respective internal network of the second instance of the processor is configured in a second configuration that enables a different number of cores to be communicatively coupled, wherein, same positioned cores on the processor and the second instance of the processor have same network addresses for the first and second configurations. A processor is also described having an internal network designed to enable the above method.
