Abstract:
A meta-addressing architecture for a network of dynamically reprogrammable processing machines, the meta-address specifying a local memory destination for a data packet comprising:a plurality of addressing machines, each addressing machine having a unique geographic address, for servicing interrupts, generating and transmitting meta-addresses comprising of a geographic address and a local address, and queuing messages; a plurality of dynamically reprogrammable processing machines (DRPMs), each dynamically reprogrammable processing machine coupled to at least one addressing machine, for storing, retrieving, and processing data from a local memory unit responsive to received local-addresses; a plurality of memory units, each memory unit associated with a DRPM; and an interconnect unit, coupled to the addressing machines, for routing data between addressing machines responsive to the geographic address of the meta-address.
