Abstract

A novel processor chip (10) having a processing core (12), at least one bank of memory (14), an I/O link (26) configured to communicate with other like processor chips or compatible I/O devices, a memory controller (20) in electrical communication with processing core (12) and memory (14), and a distributed shared memory controller (22) in electrical communication with memory controller (20) and I/O link (26). Distributed shared memory controller (22) is configured to control the exchange of data between processor chip (10) and the other processor chips or I/O devices. In addition, memory controller (20) is configured to receive memory requests from processing core (12) and distributed shared memory controller (22) and process the memory request with memory (14). Processor chip (10) may further comprise an external memory interface (24) in electrical communication with memory controller (20). External memory interface (24) is configured to connect processor chip (10) with external memory, such as DRAM. Memory controller (20) is configured to receive memory requests from processing core (12) and distributed shared memory controller (22), determine whether the memory requests are directed to memory (14) on chip (10) or the external memory, and process the memory requests with memory (14) on processor chip (10) or with the external memory through external memory interface (24).
