Circular reconfiguration for a reconfigurable parallel processor using a plurality of chained memory ports
Abstract:
Processors, systems and methods are provided for thread level parallel processing. A processor may comprise a plurality of reconfigurable units that may include a plurality of processing elements (PEs) and a plurality of memory ports (MPs) for the plurality of PEs to access a memory unit. Each of the plurality of reconfigurable units may comprise a configuration buffer and a reconfiguration counter. The processor may further comprise a sequencer coupled to the configuration buffer of each of the plurality of reconfigurable units and configured to distribute a plurality of configurations to the plurality of reconfigurable units for the plurality of PEs and the plurality of MPs to execute a sequence of instructions.
