Patent attributes
Apparatus and associated methodology involving use of a multiple-core processor. A reserved hard allocation of resources partition (HARP) dedicates physical resources for operably supporting a first processing function. The dedicated resources of the reserved HARP include a reserved physical memory that is sized in relation to data processing requirements of the first processing function. The dedicated resources of the first HARP also include a command buffer residing in the reserved physical memory. The dedicated resources of the first HARP also include a reserved physical core of the multiple core processor. The apparatus also includes a second HARP having resources that are used for operably supporting a different second processing function. The second HARP resources operably put transaction requests from the second processing function to the command buffer in the first HARP.
