A scalar/vector processor includes a plurality of functional units (252, 260, 262, 264, 266, 268, 270). At least one of the functional units includes a vector section (210) for operating on at least one vector and a scalar section (220) for operating on at least one scalar. The vector section and scalar section of the functional unit co-operate by the scalar section being arranged to provide and/or consume at least one scalar required by and/or supplied by the vector section of the functional unit.

The present invention relates to a data processing device (10) comprising a processing unit (12) and a memory unit (14), and to a method for controlling operation of a memory unit (14) of a data processing device. The memory unit (14) comprises a main memory (16), a low- level cache memory (20.2), which is directly connected to the processing unit (12) and adapted to hold all pixels of a currently active sliding search area for reading access by the processing unit (12), a high-level cache memory (18), which is connected between the low-level cache memory and the frame memory, and a first pre-fetch buffer (20.1), which is connected between the high-level cache memory and the low- level cache memory and which is adapted to hold one search-area column or one search-area line of pixel blocks, depending on the scan direction and scan order followed by the processing unit. Reading and fetching functionalities are decoupled in the memory unit (14). The fetching functionality is concentrated on the higher cache level, while the reading functionality is concentrated on the lower cache level. This way concurrent reading and fetching can be achieved, thus enhancing the performance of a data processing device.

An autostereoscopic display device includes a reflection layer for reflecting at least a portion of incident light, a polarization conversion layer arranged over the reflection layer, and an array of lenticular elements arranged over at least a portion of the polarization conversion layer and including a birefringent material. Light having a first state of polarization is configured to pass through the lenticular element array without substantial lenticular element focusing, where the polarization state is transformed by the polarization conversion layer such that the reflected light has a second state of polarization. Light having the second polarization state passes through the lenticular element array with the lenticular element focusing to provide multiple views to different viewing locations.

To achieve a shortening of the initial synchronization time and/or extension of the stand-by time with a method of connecting an UMTS mobile radio to a network, the UMTS mobile radio receives and stored in one or more time-limited RF receive windows the signals that are subsequently evaluated when the HF receiver is switched off.
摘要:
Configurable vector processors can be equipped with code generators, so that they are capable of handling different standards and codes. Furthermore, they can be arranged to provide support for related functions such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC). A configurable vector processor would then be equipped with a plurality of generators which generate basic codes in vector format. However, a disadvantage of such a configurable vector processor is that it cannot provide a composite code which is dependent on such basic codes. This is necessary if the configurable vector processors should be flexible enough to support a variety of CDMA-like standards. The device according to the invention is provided with at least two weighted sum units, which are able to make a selection out of a plurality of incoming basic-code vectors by means of a weighted sum operation, under the control of a configuration word. The elements of this configuration word represent the weighting factors which are used to select or deselect a basic-code vector. The selected basic-code vectors are added together and the result of the weighted sum operation is then output as an intermediate-code vector. Subsequently, the intermediate-code vectors are added together by an add unit and output as a composite-code vector. The ability to make selections out of a plurality of incoming basic-code vectors and to add intermediate-code vectors into a composite-code vector, together with the ability to configure the operations of the functional units of the device by means of configuration words, increases the flexibility of the device significantly. This flexibility is needed to support a variety of transmission standards.

摘要:
An array of data values, such as an image of pixel values, is stored in a main memory (12). A processing operation is performed using the pixel values. The processing operation defines time points of movement of a multidimensional region (20, 22) of locations in the image. Pixel values from inside and around the region are cached for processing. At least when a cache miss occurs for a pixel value from outside the region, cache replacement of data in cache locations (142) is performed. Locations that store pixel data for locations in the image outside the region (20, 22) are selected for replacement, selectively exempting from replacement cache locations (142) that store pixel data locations in the image inside the region. In embodiments, different types of cache structure are used for caching data values inside and outside the region. In an embodiment the cache locations for pixel data inside the regions support a higher level of output parallelism than the cache locations for pixel data around the region. In a further embodiment the cache for locations inside the region contains sets of banks, each set for a respective line from the image, data from the lines being distributed in a cyclically repeating fashion over the banks.
