发明名称 Processor assigning data to hardware partition based on selectable hash of data address
摘要 A processor includes execution resources, data storage, and an instruction sequencing unit, coupled to the execution resources and the data storage, that supplies instructions within the data storage to the execution resources. At least one of the execution resources, the data storage, and the instruction sequencing unit is implemented with a plurality of hardware partitions of like function for processing data. The data processed by each hardware partition is assigned according to a selectable hash of addresses associated as with the data. In a preferred embodiment, the selectable hash can be altered dynamically during the operation of the processor, for example, in response to detection of an error or a load imbalance between the hardware partitions.
