<p>A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises: a plurality of cores connected to one another via a mutual coupling network; and a plurality of routers placed on the mutual coupling network. Each router has a forwarding table the entries of which designate the output destinations of packets that match the match conditions. Each router, when having received a packet, searches the forwarding table and, if the forwarding table includes a hit entry matching the received packet, then forwards the received packet to the output destination designated by the hit entry. A path control circuit dynamically decides a transmission path of the packet from the transmission source core to the destination core and further instructs each router on the decided path to set the forwarding table such that the packet transmission is performed along the decided path.</p> |
