A mechanism that associates a mutual exclusion lock with a shared data item and provides ownership of the mutual exclusion lock to multiple execution threads that execute code operating on the shared data item in a sequential order.

Method and apparatus for serialized mutual exclusion

A mechanism that enables allocation and recovery of buffer resources in both burst access and single access modes of operation is presented.

Allocating singles and bursts from a freelist

A multi-threaded microprocessor with support for packet header splitting during receive packet processing operations and packet header splicing during transmit packet processing operations, as well as optimized recovery of transmit resources, is presented.

Method and apparatus for header splitting/splicing and automating recovery of transmit resources on a per-transmit granularity

A method and apparatus to search for routing information is described. According to an embodiment, a technique is described to search for routing information that uses a first technique on at least a portion of a first section of an address and a second technique on at least a portion of a second section of an address. In one embodiment, a best-match technique, such as a Longest Prefix Match technique, is used on at least a portion of a topology section of an address, and an exact-match technique is used on a portion of an interface ID of the address.
