Patent ID: 8924688

Claim:
An apparatus implementing a computing and communication chip architecture for integrated circuitry, comprising: a plurality of processor cores; and, at least an external port; and at least one switch operably connected to each of the plurality of processor cores and the external port; and, each of the plurality of processor cores and the external port and the switch are collocated on the semiconductor die package; where in, each of said processor cores is adopted to send and receive serial communication protocol data packets using a parallel bus to programmable serial interface converter; and each of said processor cores is adopted to communicate with other collocated processor cores or external devices using packetized serial communication; and, the said switch is adapted for packetized serial communication among each of the said processor cores and the external port; and, the said switch is adopted to provide translation between multiple serialized protocols; and, the said switch is adopted to provide quality of service switching; and the said external port is adopted to provide a predefined serial communications interface.
