Data processing method, processor, and data processing equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a data processing method, a processor, and data processing equipment. The method comprises the following steps: data D (a,1) is sent to a first processing circuit by an arbiter; the data D (a,1) is processed by the first processing circuit to obtain data D (1,2), wherein the first processing circuit is a processing circuit among m processing circuits; the data D (1,2) is sent to a second processing circuit by the first processing circuit; the received data is processed by the second processing circuit, a third processing circuit, ... and an mth processing circuit respectively; the data D (m,a) sent by the mth processing circuit is received by the arbiter, wherein the arbiter and the m processing circuits are components of the processor; the processor further comprises an m+1th processing circuit; each processing circuit of the first processing circuit, the second processing circuit, ... and the m+1th processing circuit can receive first data to be processed sent by the arbiter, and processes the first data to be processed. The scheme is helpful to improve efficiency of data processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a data processing method, processor and data processing equipment. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, a network processor may adopt a pipeline architecture. Marvell's HX300 series network processors use a programmable pipeline architecture. This architecture can be seen as an assembly line in a car production process. The HX300 series network processors include multiple cores (English: core). Multiple cores are divided into N groups, and different groups are coupled in a pipelined manner. Each core on the pipeline only completes part of the functions, and multiple cores complete all functions through cooperation. For example, the first core performs packet header analysis, the second core performs multiprotocol label switching (English: multiprotocol label switching, referred to as: MPLS) protocol, and the third core performs search access co...
