    Abstract: An image processor is described. The image processor includes an I/O unit to read input image data from external memory for processing by the image processor and to write output image data from the image processor into the external memory. The I/O unit includes multiple logical channel units. Each logical channel unit is to form a logical channel between the external memory and a respective producing or consuming component within the image processor. Each logical channel unit is designed to utilize reformatting circuitry and addressing circuitry. The addressing circuitry is to control addressing schemes applied to the external memory and reformatting of image data between external memory and the respective producing or consuming component. The reformatting circuitry is to perform the reformatting.

    Abstract: An image processor is described. The image processor includes a storage circuit to store segments of input image data received in a raster scan format. The image processor further includes a reformatting circuit to convert the segments of input image data into a block image format. The image processor further includes a processor comprising a two-dimensional execution lane array and a two-dimensional shift register array. The two-dimensional shift register array is to store the input image data that has been formatted into the block image format. The execution lane array is to execute instructions that operate on the image data from the two-dimensional shift register array.
