Abstract: Apparatus, processes, and computer readable storage media for processing received packets. A session memory, coupled to and shared by a plurality of packet processors, may store configuration and statistics information for a plurality of communication sessions. A session active memory may store session identifiers corresponding to packets currently being processed by the plurality of packet processors. A comparator may compare a session identifier extracted from a received packet with the stored session identifiers to determine if another packet belonging to the same session as the received packet is currently being processed. Forwarding logic may distribute received packets among the plurality of packet processors. In the case that another packet belonging to the same session as the received packet is currently being processed, the forwarding logic may wait until the processing of the another packet is complete before sending the received packet to one of the packet processors.

Abstract: There are disclosed an apparatus, process, and computer readable storage media for processing received packets. The apparatus may include a plurality of packet processors. A session active checker may identify a session associated with a first received packet and may determine if any other packet belonging to the identified session is currently being processed by any of the plurality of packet processors. The first receive packet may be sent to a selected one of the plurality of packet processors when no other packets belonging to the identified session are currently being processed.

Abstract: A data processor (10) has a cache array (40) and a control unit (58) for storing a number of recently accessed data lines. If an execution unit requests a data line that is not stored in the memory cache (a miss) then the control unit will request the data from an external memory device and allocate a location in the cache array in which it will store the requested data when returned. In the depicted embodiment, the control unit first attempts to allocate an invalid one of N possible locations, where N is the set way associativity of the memory cache. If none of the ways is invalid, then the control unit uses a least recently used (LRU) algorithm to select the location. Therefore, the data cache may be non-blocking up to N times to the same set.
