In one embodiment, a processing node includes a plurality of processor
cores and a reconfigurable interconnect. The processing node also
includes a controller configured to schedule transactions received from
each processor core. The interconnect may be coupled to convey between a
first processor core and the controller, transactions that each include a
first corresponding indicator that indicates the source of the
transaction. The interconnect may also be coupled to convey transactions
between a second processor core and the controller, transactions that
each include a second corresponding indicator that indicates the source
of the transaction. When operating in a first mode, the interconnect is
configurable to cause the first indicator to indicate that the
corresponding transactions were conveyed from the second processor core
and to cause the second indicator to indicate that the corresponding
transactions were conveyed from the first processor core.
