Method for work scheduling in a multi-chip system
First Claim
1. A method of processing work items in a multi-chip system, the method comprising:
- designating, by a work source component associated with a source chip device, a work item to a scheduler processor for scheduling, the source chip device being one of multiple chip devices of the multi-chip system, the work source component comprising a core processor or a coprocessor configured to create work items;
assigning, by the scheduler processor, the work item to a destination chip device of the multiple chip devices for processing, the scheduler processor being one of one or more scheduler processors each associated with a corresponding chip device of the multiple chip devices.

Abstract
According to at least one example embodiment, a multi-chip system includes multiple chip devices configured to communicate to each other and share hardware resources. According to at least one example embodiment, a method of processing work item in the multi-chip system comprises designating, by a work source component associated with a chip device, referred to as the source chip device, of the multiple chip devices, a work item to a scheduler for scheduling. The scheduler then assigns the work item to another chip device, referred to as the destination chip device, of the multiple chip devices for processing, the scheduler is one of one or more schedulers each associated with a corresponding chip device of the multiple chip devices.
