摘要:
A system and a corresponding method for multi-core synchronous debugging of a multi-core platform including a plurality of cores are provided. The method includes the following steps. Transmit a core debugging instruction to one of the cores selected by a system debugging instruction or store a group setting included in the system debugging instruction according to the type of the system debugging instruction. Control every core in a group to start executing program instructions simultaneously according to another system debugging instruction. The group is a subset of the cores and the group setting indicates which ones of the cores are included in the group. Use a handshaking mechanism to control all cores of the group to enter a debug mode simultaneously when a debug event happens in any core of the group.

An apparatus for cooperative sharing of operand access port of a banked register file comprises a partitioned register file, a first group of functional unit, a second group of function units and an access control circuit. The access control circuit includes three control bits to control the accesses to the register file by the functional units for operands. The invention is to relax the constraint encountered by the compiler and a smart assembler using a conventional Ping-Pong file register. The relaxed constraint allows the two banks of the partitioned register file accessed by two instructions simultaneously as long as each corresponding operand of the two instructions are in different register banks. By the relaxed constraint, a compiler and a smart assembler have more choices to schedule instructions in a program, potentially increasing program performance.

A unified single-core and multi-mode processor and its program execution method are provided. In an embodiment of this processor, a single instruction stream is different types of instructions randomly arranged in thereof. The processor switches its modes based on the type of a fetched instruction to execute the program corresponding to the fetched instruction.

A pipelined datapath with dynamically reconfigurable pipeline stages is provided, having a pipeline controller which generates clock signals and selects signals based on a system clock and a valid data signal to control each of the registers and each of the multiplexers in the pipeline circuit. In other words, when a valid datum is being processed, the pipeline register is activated to latch the output of the combinational logic circuit; otherwise, when an invalid datum is received, the register is not activated and the datum bypasses the register through a multiplexer. Therefore, the pipeline stages of the pipelined datapath are dynamically reconfigured to save the power dissipation effectively.

A digital signal processor is provided, comprising at least one cluster. The cluster may comprise at least two function units each conducting different instruction types, at least two private register files each associated with one function unit for data storage, a ping-pong register providing exclusively accessible data storage, and a public register file. The public register file comprises at least two read ports, each coupled to a function unit, providing read accessibility for the function units, and one write port to write data to the public register file.

The present invention is a flexible fuel cell, which overcomes the shortcomings of a conventional fuel cell made of solid materials. The flexible fuel cell includes a battery pack of fuel cell units with a preset amount and configuration of fuel cell units, and a flexible locator. The flexible locator is made of flexible materials to ensure the ability to maintain gas-tight seals. Because of the ability to maintain good gas-tight seals and to have stronger resistance to heat and corrosion, the fuel cell of the present invention offers advantages of light weight, gas-tight sealing, and shock resistance.

An inter-cluster communication module using the memory access network is provided, including a plurality of clusters, a memory subsystem, a controller and a switch device. When some clusters issue a load instruction and some clusters issue a store instruction of an identical memory address concurrently, the controller controls the switch device which connects the clusters and the memory banks of the memory subsystem, so that the data item is transmitted from the cluster issuing the store instruction to the cluster issuing the load instruction through the switch device, thereby achieving data exchange between the clusters. Herein, the data item is selectively stored in the memory module depending on the address. Furthermore, the data item is also transmitted between the memory and the clusters over the switch device.

The present invention discloses a system and method for nondestructively measuring the refractive index and the central thickness of a lens. The system comprises a radius measurement module arranged for measuring the curvature radius of the first surface of the lens; a focus measurement module arranged for measuring the best focus distance of the first surface of the lens; and a calculation module arranged for performing the first or the second calculation process according to the lensmaker's formula. Wherein, when the central thickness is given, the calculation module performs the first calculation process according to the curvature radius, the best focus distance and the central thickness to calculate the refractive index. On the contrary, when the refractive index is given, the calculation module performs the second calculation process according to the curvature radius, the best focus distance and the refractive index to calculate the central thickness.
