    Abstract: Various systems and circuits are provided. One such system includes input interfaces to receive items of input data of different types; output interfaces, each of a different type; an interconnect coupled to the input interfaces and to the output interfaces; and an multichip hub that includes buffers respectively corresponding to the types of input data, context memory blocks, and a data movement engine with a context mapper to determine a context of each item of input data received and provide the item of input data to a corresponding context memory block. Multiple processing blocks within the multichip hub are each configured to perform a respective processing operation. The data movement engine receives context configuration data to determine, for each item of input data received, which of the multiple processing operations are to be applied to the item of input data.

    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically transferring graphical image processing operations from a graphical processing unit (GPU) to a digital signal processor (DSP). The method includes estimating the number of operations needed for the processing a set of image data; determining the operational limits of a GPU and compare with estimated number of operations and if the operational limits are exceeded; transfer the processing operations to the DSP from the GPU. The transfer can include transferring a portion of executable code for performing the processing operations, and generating a replacement code for the GPU. The DSP can then process a portion of the image data before sending it to the GPU for further processing.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing Census Transforms that includes an input from an image, with a support window created within the image, and a kernel within the support window. The Census Transform calculations and comparisons are performed within the kernel windows. One disclosed method allows for previously performed comparison to be calculated and compared as an if not equal invert or if equal use pervious comparison hardware design. Alternatively, a new Census Transform is disclosed which always inverts a previously made comparison. This new approach can be demonstrated to be equivalent to, applying the original Census Transform, on a pre-processed input kernel, where the pre-processing step adds a fractional position index to each pixel within the N×N kernel. The fractional positional index ensures that no two pixels are equal to one another, and thereby makes the Original Census algorithm on pre-processed kernel same as the new Census algorithm on original kernel. The hardware design for this new Census Transform kernel allows for an always invert of previous comparison system resulting in reduced hardware and power consumption.

    Abstract: A system includes first and second processing components, a qualified based splitter component, a first and second configurable cache element and an arbiter component. The first data processing component generates a first request for a first portion of data at a first location within a memory. The second data processing component generates a second request for a second portion of data at a second location within the memory. The qualifier based splitter component routes the first request and the second request based on a qualifier. The first configurable cache element enables or disables prefetching data within a first region of the memory. The second configurable cache element enables or disables prefetching data within a second region of the memory. The arbiter component routes the first request and the second request to the memory.
