Abstract:
Provided are a reconfigurable processor and a method of operating the reconfigurable processor. In the method, configuration data is requested to access based on virtual addresses, and accessing of the configuration data by using a processor core is controlled to read the configuration data from addresses of a configuration memory mapped to the virtual addresses.
Abstract:
In a method to execute instructions, at least one instruction executed in a predetermined cycle is acquired based on information included in each of a plurality of instructions, and a code included in the at least one instruction acquired. An instruction is allocated to at least one slot based on the analysis result, and a slot necessary to execute the instruction is selectively used. Accordingly, power consumption of a device using the method may be reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for sharing a function logic between functional units and a reconfigurable processor are provided. The apparatus for sharing a function logic may include a storage which is configured to store data which is received from two or more functional units in order to share one or more function logics, and an arbitrator which is configured, based on a scheduling rule, to transmit the data stored in the storage into the function logic.
Abstract:
A processor, apparatus and method to use a multiple store instruction based on physical addresses of registers are provided. The processor is configured to execute an instruction to store data of a plurality of registers in a memory, the instruction including a first area in which a physical address of each of the registers is written. An instruction generating apparatus is configured to generate an instruction to store data of a plurality of registers in a memory, the instruction including a first area in which a physical address of each of the registers is written. An instruction generating method includes detecting a code area that instructs to store data of a plurality of registers in a memory, from a program code. The instruction generating method further includes generating an instruction corresponding to the code area by mapping physical addresses of the registers to a first area of the instruction.
Abstract:
Provided is a memory controller that manages memory access requests between the processor and the memory. In response to the memory controller receiving two or more memory access requests for the same area of memory, the memory controller is configured to stall the memory controller and sequentially process the memory access requests.
Abstract:
An adder for supporting multiple data types by controlling a carry propagation is provided. The adder includes a plurality of first addition areas configured to receive pieces of incoming operand data, wherein each of the plurality of first addition areas includes a predetermined unit number of bits, and a plurality of second addition areas configured to receive pieces of control data based on a type of the operand data and an operation type, wherein the plurality of second addition areas are alternately arranged between the plurality of first addition areas.
Abstract:
A reconfigurable processor includes a plurality of mini-cores and an external network to which the mini-cores are connected. Each of the mini-cores includes a first function unit including a first group of operation elements, a second function unit including a second group of operation elements that is different from the first group of operation elements, and an internal network to which the first function unit and the second function unit are connected.
