ABSTRACT:
An execution unit (260) within a network processor (110) performs multiple protocol-processing functions. The execution unit (260) includes a set of specialized registers (310-350) and a memory system (265). The specialized registers (310-350) store data during performance of the protocol-processing functions. The specialized registers (310-350) include one or more input registers, at least one control register, and one or more output registers. The memory system (265) includes multiple memories that operate together to facilitate performance of the protocol-processing functions by the execution unit (260).
