摘要:
The invention relates to a heterogeneous parallel multithread processor (1) with shared contexts which has a plurality (M) of parallel-connected standard processor root unit types (2p; pε[1, . . . , M]), where each respective standard processor root unit type (2p) has at least one or more (K) parallel-connected standard processor root units (2pq; qε[1, . . . , K]) for instruction execution of program instructions from various threads (T), each standard processor root unit type (2p) having N local context memories (32pt) which each buffer-store part of a current processor state for a thread. The multithread processor (1) also has a plurality (N) of global context memories (3t; tε[1, . . . , N]) which each buffer-store part of a current processor state for a thread, and a thread control unit (4) which can connect any standard processor root unit (2pq) to any global context memory (3t).

The signal path of a nonrecursive digital filter contains a series combination of like delay elements each providing a delay equal to the period of a clock signal or to a multiple thereof, each of the delay elements having a subtracter and a read-only memory associated therewith. The minuend inputs of each of the subtracters associated with the first half of delay elements is connected to the input of the associated delay element, and that of each of the substracters associated with the second half of delay elements to the output of the associated delay element, while the subtrahend inputs of all subtracters are connected to the center tap of the series combination of delay elements and to the first input of an adder. The output of each of the subtracters is coupled to the address input of the associated read-only memory, which has its output connected to one of the inputs of a multiple-input adder. The output of the latter is fed to the second input of the adder. Each read-only memory contains the function e=bd, where d is the output signal of the subtracter, and b is a value dependent on the difference between the center-tap signal value and the input-signal value of the respective delay element of the first half of delay elements or the output-signal value of the respective delay element of the second half. This digital filter shows adaptive behavior.

To determine the phase difference between the edge of a pulse of a first clock signal and the edge of a pulse of a second clock signal with an integrable phase meter circuit, the second clock signal is fed through a frequency-divider circuit to the input of an unclocked delay line including m delay elements, and to a second register containing m cells, while the m cells of a first register are clocked by the first clock signal. The outputs of the kth register cells are compared in the kth XOR gate of a row of m XOR gates, so that, when the levels of these outputs are unlike, a logic 1 appears at the output of the kth gate. The phase is obtained at the n-bit output of a multiple adder adding the logic levels, the accuracy corresponding to m, which is preferably equal to 2.sup.n.

The present invention relates to a parallel multithread processor (1) with split contexts, with M parallel-connected standard processor root units (2) being provided for instruction execution of program instructions for different threads (T), and with N context memories (3) being provided, which each temporarily store a current state of a thread (T), and with a thread monitoring unit (4) being provided, by means of which each standard processor root unit (2) can be connected to each context memory (3). The invention accordingly provides a processor architecture in which a number N of different context memories (3) and corresponding threads (T) are effectively fully networked with a number M of standard processor root units (2). This means that use is made not only of paralleling of the standard processor root units (2), but also of the threads (T) and of the context memories (3).

摘要:
For improved offset compensation, a Hall sensor is provided with a device for orthogonally switching the Hall detector supply current and the Hall-voltage taps. A summing device determines an offset-compensated Hall-voltage value from first and second predetermined Hall-voltage values. The Hall-voltage values are formed by means of a Hall detector containing at least first and second Hall cells for offset-voltage precompensation. The first and second Hall cells are identical and are orthogonally switchable. The geometrical orientation of the first and second Hall cells includes an angle other than 0.degree. and 180.degree..

A digital television-signal-processing circuit for a composite color signal is sampled with a first clock signal. The digitized composite color signal is reconverted with a line-locked second clock signal. The two clock signals have the same frequency. A second phase-locked loop for controlling the phase of the horizontal pulse includes a locked oscillator and is loosely coupled to a first phase-locked loop which generates a horizontal reference clock. The decoupling of the data, which is referred to the two clock signals, takes place in a dual-port read/write memory which is written into synchronously with the first clock signal and read from synchronously with the second clock signal.

摘要:
Instead of fine-controlling the horizontal deflection signal in a digital television receiver by means of two phase-locked loops and gate-delay stages as is done in prior art arrangements, in the horizontal-deflection circuit according to the invention, a first digital word delivered by a first phase-locked loop and representative of the horizontal frequency is added in an adder to a suitably amplified third digital word delivered by a phase comparator of a second phase-locked loop. The output of the adder is fed to the control input of a digital sine-wave generator which drives a frequency divider. The latter delivers the horizontal deflection signal, which drives the horizontal output stage. The phase comparator is fed with the horizontal flyback signal, which is derived from the horizontal deflection signal, and a second digital word generated by the first phase-locked loop and representative of the desired phase position of the flyback signal.
