Abstract
A network processor includes a schedule, sync and order (SSO) module for scheduling and assigning work to multiple processors. The SSO includes an on-deck unit (ODU) that provides a table having several entries, each entry storing a respective work queue entry, and a number of lists. Each of the lists may be associated with a respective processor configured to execute the work, and includes pointers to entries in the table. A pointer is added to the list based on an indication of whether the associated processor accepts the WQE corresponding to the pointer.
