Abstract

A method of processing data in an integrated circuit is described. The method comprises establishing a pipeline of processing blocks, wherein each processing block has a different function; coupling a data packet having data and meta-data to an input of the pipeline of processing blocks; and processing the data of the data packet using predetermined processing blocks based upon the meta-data. A device for processing data in an integrated circuit is also described.
