Systems and methods for a fast interconnect table

A computing apparatus for accessing data, the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured:
• to determine, based on a first function, if a datum is to be processed by the processor;
• if the datum is determined to be processed by the processor:
• to (i) select a table location based on the datum and a second function, the selected table location being designated to the processor, and (ii) access the datum at the selected table location;
• and
• if the datum is determined not to be processed by the processor, to communicate the datum to another processor, using a network configured to avoid contention for memory designated to the second processor if the second processor and any other processor simultaneously access any data in the memory designated to the second processor.

An article of manufacture, comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a first processing element, configure the first processing element to:

• determine, based on a first function, if a datum is to be processed by the first processing element;
• if the datum is determined to be processed by the first processing element:
• (i) to select a table location based on the datum and a second function, the selected table location being designated to the first processing element, and (ii) to access the datum at the selected table location;
• and
• if the datum is determined not to be processed by the first processing element, to communicate the datum to a second processing element, using a network configured to avoid contention for memory designated to the second processing element if the second processing element and any other processing element simultaneously access any data in the memory designated to the second processing element.
