Abstract:
An electronics adapter and method are disclosed herein. The electronics adapter can include a plurality of interface ports, with each interface port from the device coupled to a processor from a plurality of processors, and a controller communicatively coupled to the interface ports. The controller may be configured to determine a function or transaction attributes, which are serviced by instructions executed by one of the processors. The controller may be further configured to determine at least one interface port on the adapter to transmit the transaction based on the function or the attributes using an updatable mapping between the function or the attributes and the interface port, and transmit a request for the transaction using the interface port for processing of the transaction by the processor coupled to the interface port.
