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.

Abstract: A processor is described. The processor includes a network. A plurality of processing cores are coupled to the network. The processor includes a transmitter circuit coupled to the network. The transmitter circuit is to transmit output data generated by one of the processing cores into the network. The transmitter circuit includes control logic circuitry to cause the transmitter circuit to send a request for transmission of a second packet of output data prior to completion of the transmitter circuit's transmission of an earlier first packet of output data.
