摘要:
A method of caching commands in microprocessors having a plurality of arithmetic units and in modules having a two- or multidimensional cell arrangement is provided. The method includes combining a plurality of cells and arithmetic units to form a plurality of groups, assigning a cache unit to a group, and connecting the cache unit to a higher level unit via a tree structure. The cache unit may send requests for required commands to the higher level cache unit, which may return a command sequence including the required command, if the higher level cache unit holds the first command sequence including the required command in the higher level cache unit's local memory.
摘要:
A general bus system is provided which combines a number of internal lines and leads them as a bundle to the terminals. The bus system control is predefined and does not require any influence by the programmer. Any number of memories, peripherals or other units can be connected to the bus system (for cascading).

The invention relates to a method for recognizing activities detected in video streams. In this case, it is intended that data relating to frame differences are accumulated for frame sequences in fields, gradients and/or value difference intervals are determined in the accumulator fields, and activity is concluded from the gradients.
摘要:
A method of synchronizing and reconfiguring configurable elements in a programmable unit is provided. A unit has a two- or multi-dimensional, programmable cell architecture (e.g., DFP, DPGA, etc.), and any configurable element can have access to a configuration register and a status register of the other configurable elements via an interconnection architecture and can thus have an active influence on their function and operation. By making synchronization the responsibility of each element, more synchronization tasks can be performed at the same time because independent elements no longer interfere with each other in accessing a central synchronization instance.
摘要:
A cell element field for data processing having function cells for execution of algebraic and/or logic functions and memory cells for receiving, storing and/or outputting information is described. A control connection may lead from the function cells to the memory cells.
摘要:
The invention relates to a multi-core processor memory system, wherein it is provided that the system comprises memory channels between the multi-core processor and the system memory, and that the system comprises at least as many memory channels as processor cores, each memory channel being dedicated to a processor core, and that the memory system relates at run-time dynamically memory blocks dedicatedly to the accessing core, the accessing core having dedicated access to the memory bank via the memory channel.
摘要:
A method for debugging reconfigurable hardware is described. According to this method, all necessary debug information is written in each configuration cycle into a memory, which is then analyzed by the debugger.
