Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving an Extensible Markup Language (XML) packet at a host processor of a resource-constrained device, such as a mobile device or the like, and forwarding the XML packet to a programmable accelerator of the resource-constrained device. Then, using the programmable accelerator, the XML packet may be processed and information from the XML packet may be provided to the host processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving an extensible markup language (XML) packet at a host processor of a resource-constrained device;
- forwarding the XML packet to a programmable accelerator of the resource-constrained device;
- and
- processing the XML packet with the programmable accelerator and providing information from the XML packet to the host processor.
An apparatus comprising:
- a host processor for a mobile device, the host processor including:
- a processor core to execute an application program;
- and
- a programmable metadata accelerator coupled to the processor core to receive and process extensible data packets.
An article comprising a machine-accessible storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to:
- receive a data packet at a host processor of a mobile device;
- forward the data packet to a programmable accelerator of the mobile device;
- and
- process the data packet with the programmable accelerator and provide information from the data packet to the host processor.
A system comprising:
- a host processor for the system, the host processor including:
- a processor core to execute an application program;
- and
- an accelerator coupled to the processor core to receive and process extensible data packets;
- and
- a wireless interface coupled to the host processor.
