METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFER OF WIDE COMMAND AND DATA BETWEEN A PROCESSOR AND COPROCESSOR

摘要

According to at least one example embodiment, a method of processing a wide command includes storing wide command data in a first physical structure of a processor. Information associated with the wide command is determined based on the wide command data and/or a corresponding memory address range associated with the wide command. The information associated with the wide command determined includes a size of the wide command and is stored in a second physical structure of the processor. The processor causes the wide command data and the information associated with the wide command to be provided directly to a coprocessor for executing the wide command. The processor and the coprocessor may reside on a single chip device. Alternatively, the processor and the coprocessor may reside on separate chip devices in a multi-chip system.
