A HARDWARE COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORTING LOCATIONTRANSPARENCY AND DYNAMIC PARTIAL RECONFIGURATION

摘要

A communication system according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises one or more integrated circuits. The one or more integrated circui ts comprise at least one of a local integrated circuit and a remote integrat ed circuit. At least one sending application hardware module located on the local integrated circuit has a sending logic that controls the sending of me ssages from the sending application hardware module. At least one receiving application hardware module is located on at least one of the local integrat ed circuit or remote integrated circuit. A sending application hardware modu le sends messages to a receiving application hardware module without its sen ding logic having been constructed with a priori knowledge of the address of or the path to said receiving application hardware module. A dispatch logic located on the local integrated circuit that routes at least one or more.
