Request control device, request control method and associated processors

摘要

A request control device, request control method, and a multiprocessor cooperation architecture. The request control device is connected to a request storage module and includes a comparing means and an identifier means. The comparing means is configured to determine if an incoming first queue unit corresponds to the same message with a queue unit that has existed in the request storage module. The identifier setting means is configured to set a save identifier of the queue unit that has existed in the request storage module to indicate not to save a state associated with the message if the first queue unit corresponds to the same message with the queue unit that has existed in the request storage module. According to the technical solution of the invention, the access to the memory caused by saving/loading the states is reduced and thereby increases the processing speed of the processor.

主权项

1. A request control device comprising:
a processor for processing a plurality of messages, each message including a plurality of queue units, each message having a state associated with processing of the message, the state being dependent upon processing of the queue units of the corresponding message, each queue unit having a save identifier that indicates whether to save the state associated with processing of its corresponding message; at least one memory storage location, coupled to the processor, each storage location for selectively storing the state associated with processing of each message; a request storage module, coupled to the processor, for storing queue units; and a request control means, coupled to the processor, for receiving a plurality of incoming queue units, the request control means including:
a comparing means for comparing a message corresponding to an incoming queue unit and a message corresponding to a queue unit that is pre-existing in the request storage module, andan identifier setting means configured to set the save identifier of the queue unit that is pre-existing in the request storage module to indicate not to save the state associated with the message corresponding to the queue unit that is pre-existing in the request storage module if the incoming queue unit and the queue unit that is pre-existing in the request storage module correspond to a same message, wherein the request control device uses the state associated with processing of the message so that processing of the message can be resumed from a same point at a later time during state switching of the processor.
