Patent attributes
Technologies for a distributed hardware queue manager include a compute device having a processor. The processor includes two or more hardware queue managers as well as two or more processor cores. Each processor core can enqueue or dequeue data from the hardware queue manager. Each hardware queue manager can be configured to contain several queue data structures. In some embodiments, the queues are addressed by the processor cores using virtual queue addresses, which are translated into physical queue addresses for accessing the corresponding hardware queue manager. The virtual queues can be moved from one physical queue in one hardware queue manager to a different physical queue in a different physical queue manager without changing the virtual address of the virtual queue.
