    摘要: A system and method for improving the efficiency of an object-level instruction stream in a computer processor. Translation logic for generating translated instructions from an object-level instruction stream in a RISC-architected computer processor, and an execution unit which executes the translated instructions, are integrated into the processor. The translation logic combines the functions of a plurality of the object-level instructions into a single translated instruction which can be dispatched to a single execution unit as compared with the untranslated instructions, which would otherwise be serially dispatched to separate execution units. Processor throughput is thereby increased since the number of instructions which can be dispatched per cycle is extended.

    摘要: A reconfigurable logic array (RLA) system that includes an RLA and a programmer for reprogramming the RLA on a cyclical basis. A function (F) requiring a larger amount of logic than contained in the RLA is partitioned into multiple functional blocks. The programmer contains software that partitions the RLA into a function region FR located between two storage regions SR1, SR2. The programmer then programs functional region sequentially with the functional blocks of the function so that the functional blocks process in alternating directions between the storage regions. While the programmer is reconfiguring function region with the next functional block and reconfiguring one of the storage regions for receiving the output of the next functional block, data being passed from the current functional block to the next functional block is held in the other storage region.

    摘要: A structure comprising an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) for relieving bottlenecks, and a method for operating the structure. The FPGA comprises multiple FPGA elements each of which includes a CLB (Configurable Logic Block), an instruction queue, and a data buffer. One functional block after another (separate from one another) can be formed in the FPGA via a first local IO (Input/Output) circuit and moved to a second local IO circuit. Within each functional block, a mapped logic location function calculates the direction, distance, and the time for the step from the current location of the functional block stored in a mapped location register, and the destination stored in a mapped destination register, and the time allowed for the movement, and stores the direction and distance of the step in the mapped movement register. Then, the functional block moves according the direction and distance stored in the mapped movement register.
