Abstract
A method of parallel hardware-based multithreaded processing is described. The method includes assigning tasks for packet processing to programming engines and establishing pipelines between programming stages, which correspond to the programming engines. The method also includes establishing contexts for the assigned tasks on the programming engines and using a software controlled cache such as a CAM to transfer data between next neighbor registers residing in the programming engines.
