    摘要: There is disclosed a multi-processor system and method arranged, in one embodiment, as an image and graphics processor. The image processor is structured with several individual processors all having communication links to several memories. A crossbar switch serves to establish the processor memory links. The entire image processor, including the individual processors, the crossbar switch and the memories, is contained on a single silicon chip.

    摘要: A single integrated circuit includes first and second data processors operating on different instruction sets independently operating on disjoint programs and data. The single integrated circuit preferably includes an external interface, a shared data transfer controller and shared memory divided into plural independently accessible memory banks. The two data processors are preferably a digital signal processor (DSP) and a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor. The DSP and RISC processors are suitably programmed to perform differing aspects of computer image processing.

    摘要: A multi-processing system includes a plurality of memories and a plurality of processors. Each of the memories has a unique addressable memory portion of a single memory address space. Each processors has a predetermined plurality of corresponding memories. These corresponding memories have a corresponding base address within said single memory address space The processors generate addresses for read/write access to data stored within said plurality of memories in accordance with received instructions. A switch matrix connected to the memories and the processors responds to an address generated by a processor to selectively route data between that processor and a memories whose unique addressable memory portion encompasses that address. Each processor has a register with a plurality of read only bits which uniquely identify that processor within the multi-processing system. The processor may employ this unique processor identifier to compute the base address corresponding to that processor. This enables programs which may execute independently of the processor within the multi-processing system.
