Abstract: A reconfigurable matrix multiplier (RMM) system/method allowing tight or loose coupling to supervisory control processor application control logic (ACL) in a system-on-a-chip (SOC) environment is disclosed. The RMM provides for C=A*B matrix multiplication operations having A-multiplier-matrix (AMM), B-multiplicand-matrix (BMM), and C-product-matrix (CPM), as well as C=A*B+D operations in which D-summation-matrix (DSM) represents the result of a previous multiplication operation or another previously defined matrix. The RMM provides for additional CPM LOAD/STORE paths allowing overlapping of compute/data transfer operations and provides for CPM data feedback to the AMM or BMM operand inputs from a previously calculated CPM result. The RMM anticipates the use of 8, 16, and 32-bit operand reconfigurable matrix datum in conjunction with a typical external memory bus data width of 512 bits and an instruction control unit (ICU) implemented using a series of RMM configuration words (RCW) and streaming opcode functions (SOF).

Abstract: A matrix compression/decompression accelerator (MCA) system/method that coordinates lossless data compression (LDC) and lossless data decompression (LDD) transfers between an external data memory (EDM) and a local data memory (LDM) is disclosed. The system implements LDC using a 2D-to-1D transformation of 2D uncompressed data blocks (2DU) within LDM to generate 1D uncompressed data blocks (1DU). The 1DU is then compressed to generate a 1D compressed superblock (CSB) in LDM. This LDM CSB may then be written to EDM with a reduced number of EDM bus cycles. The system implements LDD using decompression of CSB data retrieved from EDM to generate a 1D decompressed data block (1DD) in LDM. A 1D-to-2D transformation is then applied to the LDM 1DD to generate a 2D decompressed data block (2DD) in LDM. This 2DD may then be operated on by a matrix compute engine (MCE) using a variety of function operators.

Abstract: A bandpass filter includes a plurality of parallel paths. Each path includes a first mixer, a low-pass filter, and a second mixer. The first mixer in each path receives the input signal and mixes the input signal with a periodic mixer sequence. The low-pass filter in each path is operable to filter an output of the associated first mixer. The second mixer in each path is coupled to receive an output of the associated low-pass filter and mixes said filter output with a periodic mixer sequence having a period that is divided into a plurality of time slots, wherein again the mixer value is constant during each time slot. A summer sums the outputs of the second mixers of each of the paths to generate an output of the bandpass filter.

Abstract: A matrix transfer accelerator (MTA) system/method that coordinates data transfers between an external data memory (EDM) and a local data memory (LDM) using matrix tiling and/or grouping is disclosed. The system utilizes foreground/background buffering that overlaps compute and data transfer operations and permits EDM-to-LDM data transfers with or without zero pad peripheral matrix filling. The system may incorporate an automated zero-fill direct memory access (DMA) controller (ZDC) that transfers data from the EDM to the LDM based on a set of DMA controller registers including data width register (DWR), transfer count register (TCR), fill count register (FCR), EDM source address register (ESR), and LDM target address register (LTR). The ZDC transfers matrix data from the EDM[ESR] to the LDM[LTR] such that EDM matrix data of DWR row data width is automatically zero-filled around a periphery of a matrix written to the LDM matrix based on the FCR value.
