Systems and methods for preserving the order of data

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a plurality of processors, a processor of the plurality of processors to:
• receive first data and an address assigned to the first data,
• the address being associated with the processor, and
• the address corresponding to a location in the memory;
• process the first data to form first processed data;
• output the first processed data to the location in the memory corresponding to the address;
• receive second data;
• process the second data to generate second processed data;
• and
• selectively output the second processed data to the location in the memory or a different location in the memory based on whether the first data and the second data are fragments of a same packet.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first data;
• assign, to the first data, an address corresponding to a location in a memory,
• the memory being an output memory;
• transfer the first data and the address to a processor of a plurality of processors;
• cause the first data to be processed by the processor to form processed first data;
• store the processed first data in the memory at the location corresponding to the address;
• receive second data;
• selectively assign, to the second data, a same address as the address based on the first data and the second data being fragments of a same packet;
• and
• selectively assign, to the second data, a different address than the address based on the first data and the second data not being fragments of the same packet,
• the different address corresponding to a different location in the memory.
