ABSTRACT:
A data distributor in a computational unit of an integrated circuit is enclosed. The data distributor receives data from a network and distributes the data to a plurality of components within the computational unit. The data distributor includes an input mechanism for receiving the data from the network, and distributes the data to a selected component of the plurality of components, a control mechanism responsive to a control signal for distributing the data to the selected component using a data distribution selected between a look-up table-based memory write and a point-to-point distribution with acknowledgement. The plurality of components comprises a Peek/Poke Module, an Execution Unit, a DMA Engine, and a Hardware Task Manager Message Generator. The selected data distribution type may comprise using an output port number or a direct-memory address transfer or an interrupt to distribute the data.
