Abstract: A chip-to-chip interface of a multi-chip module (MCM), including: bidirectional data links for transmitting data signals and a direction indicator bit, wherein the direction indicator bit switches a direction of the bidirectional data links in real-time; a clock link for transmitting a clock signal common to the bidirectional data links, wherein the data and clock links are comprised of conductive traces between the chips and laid out to be of substantially equal length; and a clock driver means having a digitally programmable clock signal delay.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a vector processor architecture that enables data interpolation in accordance with multiple dimensions, such as one-, two-, and three-dimensional linear interpolation. The vector processor architecture includes a vector processor and accompanying vector addressable memory that enable a simultaneous retrieval of multiple entries in the vector addressable memory to facilitate linear interpolation calculations. The vector processor architecture vastly increases the speed in which such calculations may occur compared to conventional processing architectures. Example implementations include the calculation of digital pre-distortion (DPD) coefficients for use with radio frequency (RF) transmitter chains to support multi-band applications.

CPC classification number: G06F15/8092 , G06F17/11
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the use of a hybrid architecture that combines a programmable processing array and a hardware accelerator. The hybrid architecture dedicates the most computationally intensive blocks to the hardware accelerator, while maintaining flexibility for additional computations to be performed by the programmable processing array. An interface is also described for coupling the processing array to the hardware accelerator, which achieves a division of functionality and connects the programmable processing array components to the hardware accelerator components without sacrificing flexibility. This results in a balance between power/area and flexibility.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing or eliminating loop overhead caused by function calls in processors that form part of a pipeline architecture. The processors in the pipeline process data blocks in an iterative fashion, with each processor in the pipeline completing one of several iterations associated with a processing loop for a commonly-executed function. The described techniques leverage the use of message passing for pipelined processors to enable an upstream processor to signal to a downstream processor when processing has been completed, and thus a data block is ready for further processing in accordance with the next loop processing iteration. The described techniques facilitate a zero loop overhead architecture, enable continuous data block processing, and allow the processing pipeline to function indefinitely within the main body of the processing loop associated with the commonly-executed function where efficiency is greatest.
