Abstract
A signal processing resource system with multiple sets of coefficients, channel context memories, and configuration control logic sets organized into signal processing personalities which are multiplexed in their use according to input data organization. Adaptable signal processing characteristics, processing suspension, processing resumption and seeding of signal processing context is provided. Control logic allows a data stream to be processed using multiple signal processing characteristics or “personalities” according to associations or groupings of coefficient, channel context, and control logic sets.
Claims15
A configurable signal processing computation resource system comprising:
- a data input for receiving a plurality of data samples, and having a data output;
- a plurality of selectable channel memory sets, each channel memory set storing a set of computation values for said computation resource;
- a plurality of selectable coefficient memory sets, each coefficient memory set storing a set of coefficients and parameters for said computation resource;
- a parameter port for providing values into said coefficient memory sets;
- and
- a control portion configured to select coefficient memory sets and channel memory sets coordinated with processing of input data samples such that signal processing function personalities are realized and applied to data samples according to a predetermined scheme.
