US Patent 11606317 Table based multi-function virtualization

Sharing integrated circuit (IC) resources can include receiving, within a communication endpoint of an IC, a plurality of packets from a plurality of different source virtual entities, determining packet handling data for each packet of the plurality of packets using an acceleration function table stored within the IC, routing each packet of the plurality of packets to one or more selected function circuit blocks of a plurality of function circuit blocks in the IC based on the packet handling data of each respective packet, and processing the plurality of packets using the one more selected function circuit blocks generating a plurality of results corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of packets. The plurality of results are queued within the communication endpoint. Each result is queued based on the packet handling data of the corresponding packet.
