DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING IN A NETWORK

Examples are disclosed for distributing Ethernet data processing across multiple processing cores. In one example, a computing system includes a main host processor including multiple processing cores and a shared on-chip memory accessible by each of the multiple processing cores, and an Ethernet hardware subsystem communicatively coupled to the main host processor via a direct memory access (DMA) subsystem, the DMA subsystem configured to route data from the Ethernet hardware subsystem to one or more of the multiple processing cores.
