A method and apparatus aggregate a plurality of input data streams from first processors into one data stream for a second processor, the circuit and the first and second processors being provided on an electronic circuit substrate. The aggregation circuit includes (a) a plurality of ingress data ports, each ingress data port adapted to receive an input data stream from a corresponding first processor, each input data stream formed of ingress data packets, each ingress data packet including priority factors coded therein, (b) an aggregation module coupled to the ingress data ports, adapted to analyze and combine the plurality of input data steams into one aggregated data stream in response to the priority factors, (c) a memory coupled to the aggregation module, adapted to store analyzed data packets, and (d) an output data port coupled to the aggregation module, adapted to output the aggregated data stream to the second processor.
A system comprising:
A method for aggregating a plurality of input data streams from first processors into one data stream for a second processor, the method comprising:
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for aggregating a plurality of input data streams from first processors into one data steam for a second processor, the method comprising:
