1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a set of sensor input interfaces, comprising a first sensor input interface and a second sensor input interface;
an output interface;
memory, comprising a first memory location and a second memory location;
a multichip hub module connected to the set of sensor input interfaces, the output interface and the memory, the multichip hub module comprising:
a transaction buffer comprising a first buffer and a second buffer, the first buffer configured to receive first data from the first sensor input interface, and the second buffer configured to receive second data from the second sensor input interface;
a context mapper connected to the transaction buffer, and configured to map the first data to the first memory location and the second data to the second memory location; and
a data handling module;
the multichip hub module configured to process the first data and the second data through the data handling module and provide the processed data to the output interface.
