ABSTRACT:
A task scheduler for a TC subsystem is disclosed. The task scheduler is responsible for responding to computation block requests from the TC subsystem, and retrieving/storing data objects for such computation blocks. The task scheduler thus facilitates a type of logical pipeline by exchanging such data objects with a common TC memory used by each computation block. The task scheduler generally includes a queue, a state machine and a bus master for satisfying the data object requests.
