摘要： A node comprises at least one agent and an input/output (I/O) circuit coupled to an interconnect within the node. The I/O circuit is configured to communicate on a global interconnect to which one or more other nodes are coupled during use. Addresses transmitted on the interconnect are in a first local address space of the node, and addresses transmitted on the global interconnect are in a global address space. The first local address space includes at least a first region used to address at least a first resource of the node. The node is programmable, during use, to relocate the first region within the first local address space, whereby a same numerical value in the first local address space and a second local address space corresponding to one of the other nodes coupled to the global interconnect refers to the first resource in the node during use.

摘要： A multiple processor device generates a control packet for at least one connectionless-based packet in partial accordance with a control packet format of the connection-based point-to-point link and partially not in accordance with the control packet format. For instance, the multiple processor device generates the control packet to include, in noncompliance with the control packet format, one or more of an indication that at least one connectionless-based packet is being transported, an indication of a virtual channel of a plurality of virtual channels associated with the at least one connectionless-based packet, an indication of an amount of data included in the associated data packet, status of the at least one connectionless-based packet, and an error status indication. The multiple processor device then generates the associated data packet in accordance with a data packet format of the connection-based point-to-point link, wherein the data packet includes at least a portion of the at least one connectionless-based packet.

摘要： According to the present invention, the multiple processor device determines routing for a plurality of data segments. In determining the routing, the multiple processor device first receives the plurality of data segments. The plurality of data segments include multiplexed data fragments from at least one of a plurality of virtual channels. Further, a data segment of the plurality of data segments corresponds to one of the multiplexed data fragments. The multiple processor device then applies at least one routing rule to one of the plurality of data segments to produce at least one result corresponding to the one of the plurality of data segments. The multiple processor device then interprets the at least one result to determine whether sufficient information is available to render a routing decision for the one of the plurality of data segments. When the multiple processor device determines that there is sufficient information to render a routing decision, the multiple processor device determines routing of the one of the plurality of data segments. When there is insufficient information to render a routing decision, the one of the plurality of data segments is stored in a buffer corresponding to a packet in which the one of the plurality of data segments was received. These operations are repeated for subsequent data segments.

摘要： A method for receiving data from a plurality of virtual channels begins by storing a stream of data as a plurality of data segments, wherein the stream of data includes multiplexed data fragments from at least one of the plurality of virtual channels, and wherein a data segment of the plurality of data segments corresponds to one of the multiplexed data fragments. The method continues by decoding at least one of the plurality of data segments in accordance with one of a plurality of data transmission protocols to produce at least one decoded data segment. The method continues by storing the at least one decoded data segment, in a generic format, to reassemble at least a portion of a packet provided by the at least one of the plurality of virtual channels. The method continues by routing the at least one decoded data segment as at least part of the reassembled packet to one of a plurality of destinations in accordance with the at least one of the plurality of virtual channels.
