Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-readable program code that, when executed, performs an operation for transmitting a packet from a source switch module to a destination switch module, comprising: receiving, at a first port of a first switch module, a packet that includes (i) path information specifying a route to the destination switch module, (ii) a set of load/store operations to be executed by the destination switch module and (iii) return path information specifying a route from the destination switch module to the source switch module; upon determining that the first switch module is the destination switch module, copying the set of load/store operations from the received packet into an execution buffer for automatic execution; and once the set of load/store operations are executed, transmitting the packet to a second switch module using the first port on which the packet was received.
