METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING SELECTION OF AVAILABLE CONTEXTS FOR PACKET PROCESSING IN MULTI-STREAM PACKET PROCESSING |
摘要 |
A context-selection mechanism (201) is provided for selecting a best context from a pool of contexts (229) for processing a data packet. The context selection mechanism (201) comprises, an interface (203) for communicating with a multi-streaming processor (105); circuitry for computing input data into a result value according to logic rule and for selecting a context based on the computed value and a loading mechanism (219) for preloading the packet information into the selected context for subsequent processing. The computation of the input data functions to enable identification and selection of a best context for processing a data packet according to the logic rule at the instant time such that a multitude of subsequent context selections over a period of time acts to balance load pressure on functional units housed within the multi-streaming processor (105) and required for packet processing. In preferred aspects, programmable singular or multiple predictive rules of logic are utulized in the selection process. |
