Method and system for work scheduling in a multi-chip system
First Claim
1. A multi-chip system comprising:
- multiple chip devices, at least one chip device of the multiple chip devices includes a work source component comprising a core processor or a coprocessor configured to create work items; and
one or more scheduler processors each associated with a corresponding chip device of the multiple chip devices, a scheduler processor of the one or more scheduler processors configured to assign a work item to a destination chip device of the multiple chip devices for processing upon receiving the work item from a work source component associated with a source 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 a 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.
