Abstract

A system and method for employing multiple hardware contexts and programming engines in a functional pipeline partitioned to facilitate high performance data processing. The system and method includes a parallel processor that assigns system functions for processing data including programming engines that support multiple contexts arranged to provide a functional pipeline by a functional pipeline control unit that passes functional data among the programming engines.
