Abstract
An integrated circuit may include two processing cores. Each processing core may include: a core controller operable to execute instructions to perform processing tasks; a memory resource connected to the core controller; and a hardware accelerator module connected to the core controller. The integrated circuit may further include: a shared bus connected to the respective hardware accelerator modules of the two processing cores; and a shared memory resource connected to the shared bus; where the only communication path between the two processing cores is via the hardware accelerator modules and the shared bus.
