A multi-core processor, comprising a plurality of processor cores to process jobs, a multicore navigator coupled to the plurality of processor cores to evaluate a job for atomicity and, based on determining the job to have atomicity, to determine whether there is an atomic wait queue associated with the job's atomicity. Based on there being an atomic wait queue associated with the job's atomicity, the multicore navigator is to push the job to the atomic wait queue.

System and method for scheduling jobs in a multi-core processor

Apparatus and method for providing correlation in a CDMA receiver. A Generic Correlation Coprocessor comprises one or more correlation blocks. Each correlation block comprises a correlation input buffer coupled to one or more correlators. The correlators are coupled to an interpolator input buffer and to a correlator output buffer. One or more interpolators are coupled to the interpolation input buffer and to the correlation output buffer. The correlators correlate the received signal with PN codes to produce a correlated signal. The correlated signal is stored in the correlator output buffer and/or the interpolation input buffer, and provided from the interpolation input buffer to the one or more interpolators. The one or more interpolators interpolate the correlated signal to produce an interpolated signal. The interpolated signal is stored in the correlator output buffer. Signals are provided from the correlator output buffer to other receiver processing systems.

Correlation coprocessor

A method includes generating a transfer configuration descriptor ('TCD'), the TCD includes information pertaining to data to be transferred. The method further includes dynamically configuring a direct memory access ('DMA) channel based on the TCD without using a CPU and transferring a group of data blocks by way of the DMA channel.
