Abstract
A system for performing data-parallel operations and task-parallel operations. A first switch fabric node (SFN) includes first and second lane processing engines (LPEs). The first LPE includes a first set of lane processing units (LPUs) configured to perform data-parallel operations, where each LPU performs a set of operations, and each LPU uses a different set of data for the set of operations, and each LPU within the first set of LPUs uses a different set of data for the set of operations. The second LPE includes a second set of LPUs configured to perform task-parallel operations, where each LPU performs a different set of operations. A processing control engine (PCE) is configured to distribute instructions and data to the first LPE and the second LPE. Advantageously, data parallel operations and task parallel operations are able to be performed on the same processor simultaneously.
