Abstract
Various systems and methods for implementing a flexible packet processing mechanism are provided herein. A network interface device for implementing flexible packet processing includes a packet parser to: receive a packet; and determine from analyzing the packet, a corresponding processing element that is used to process the packet; and a coordinator circuit to: determine whether the processing element is active in a computing unit; load the processing element when it is not active; and forward the packet to the processing element.
