ASSOCIATIVE DISTRIBUTION UNITS FOR A HIGH FLOW-RATE SYNCHRONIZER/SCHEDULER

摘要

An apparatus (10) includes a first plurality of processor cores (200) and a Central Scheduling/Synchronization Unit (CSU, 110), which is coupled to allocate computing tasks for execution by the processor cores. A second plurality of Distribution Units (DUs, 2000) is arranged in a logarithmic network (1000) between the CSU and the processor cores and configured to distribute the computing tasks from the CSU among the processor cores. Each DU includes an associative task registry (2200) for storing information with regard to the computing tasks distributed to the processor cores by the DU.
