发明名称 Context Switching on a Network On Chip
摘要 Data processing on a network on chip ('NOC') that includes integrated processor ('IP') blocks, routers, memory communications controllers, and network interface controllers, with each IP block adapted to a router through a memory communications controller and a network interface controller, with each IP block also adapted to the network by a low latency, high bandwidth application messaging interconnect comprising an inbox and an outbox, each IP block also including a stack normally used for context switching, the stack access slower than the outbox access, and each IP block further including a processor supporting a plurality of threads of execution, the processor configured to save, upon a context switch, a context of a current thread of execution in memory locations in a memory array in the outbox instead of the stack and lock the memory locations in which the context was saved.
