Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of programmable data planes, and more particularly, to a reconfigurable processor-based programmable switching fabric and a programmable data plane chip. The fabric includes a first side pathway configured to transmit a Packet Header Vector (PHV); a second side pathway configured to transmit data other than the PHV and a control signal; and a reconfigurable processor sequence comprising a plurality of reconfigurable processors in communication with each other via the first side pathway and the second side pathway. Each reconfigurable processor is reconfigurable as a pipeline stage or a Run-to-Complete (RTC) processor. A data pathway for transmitting the PHV is provided each pair of adjacent reconfigurable processors. Different connection operations are performed based on the reconfigurable processors at two ends of the data pathway.
