摘要： A microprocessor architecture including a finite state machine in combination with a microcode instruction cache for executing microinstructions. Microinstructions which would normally result in small sequences of high-repetition looped operations are implemented in a finite state machine (FSM). The use of the FSM is more energy-efficient than looping instructions in a cache or register set. In addition, the flexibility of a cache, or other memory oriented approach, in executing microcode instructions is still available. A microinstruction is identified as an FSM operation (as opposed to a cache operation) by an ID tag. Other fields of the microinstruction can be used to identify the type of FSM circuitry to use, direct configuration of a FSM to implement the microinstruction, indicate that certain fields are to be implemented in one or more FSMs and/or in memory-oriented operations such as in a cache or register.

摘要： The present invention includes an apparatus, method and system for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content. Either the adaptive circuit or encrypted, selected content has a unique identifier. In one of the preferred method and system embodiments in which the adaptive circuit has the unique identifier, a request for the selected content is received, along with the unique identifier, such as by a network server. The selected content is then encrypted, based upon the unique identifier, to form encrypted content. Configuration information for the adaptive circuit, corresponding to the unique identifier and the encrypted content, is generated to form corresponding configuration information. A service provider, such as through a network server, transfers the encrypted content and the corresponding configuration information to the adaptive circuit having the unique identifier, which may then be configured for use of the selected content. As a consequence, the present invention creates adaptive hardware configurations which are uniquely coupled to the selected content.
