摘要:
A reconfigurable processor that includes a computational unit and a data prefetch unit coupled to the computational unit, where the data prefetch unit retrieves data from a memory and supplies the data to the computational unit through memory and a data access unit, and where the data prefetch unit, memory, and data access unit is configured by a program. Also, a reconfigurable hardware system that includes a common memory; and one or more reconfigurable processors coupled to the common memory, where at least one of the reconfigurable processors includes a data prefetch unit to read and write data between the unit and the common memory, and where the data prefetch unit is configured by a program executed on the system. In addition, a method of transferring data that includes transferring data between a memory and a data prefetch unit in a reconfigurable processor; and transferring the data between a computational unit and the data prefetch unit.
摘要:
A system and method for computational unification of heterogeneous implicit and explicit processing elements which supports the aggregation of any number of such processing elements. The system and method of the present invention supports the generation of a unified executable program through the use of directive statements which are analyzed in conjunction with the semantic structures in the parsed source code to generate appropriate source code targeted to the implicit and explicit processing elements. The computational unification system and method of the present invention further embodies expertise with the particular programming style and idiom of the various processing elements.
