Abstract

An integrated circuit, such as a processing unit, includes a substrate and integrated circuitry formed in the substrate. The integrated circuitry includes a processor core that executes instructions, an interconnect interface, coupled to the processor core, that supports communication between the processor core and a system interconnect external to the integrated circuit, and at least a portion of an external communication adapter, coupled to the processor core, that supports input/output communication via an input/output communication link.
