Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a deterministic streaming system with one or more deterministic streaming processors each having an array of processing elements and a first deterministic memory coupled to the processing elements. The deterministic streaming system further includes a second deterministic memory with multiple data banks having a global memory address space, and a controller. The controller initiates retrieval of first data from the data banks of the second deterministic memory as a first plurality of streams, each stream of the first plurality of streams streaming toward a respective group of processing elements of the array of processing elements. The controller further initiates writing of second data to the data banks of the second deterministic memory as a second plurality of streams, each stream of the second plurality of streams streaming from the respective group of processing elements toward a respective data bank of the second deterministic memory.
