System and Method for Generating Real Addresses in Data Processing Architectures

A system to generate a real address in a data memory in response to a read/write request, the system comprising:

• an array of processing elements to generate an access request, the access request comprising at least one of a read request and a write request;
• an address generation unit to receive a connection ID in association with the access request, the connection ID comprising a buffer ID designating a buffer in data memory in which to access the data, and a port ID designating a pattern in which to access the data in the buffer;
• the address generation unit further configured to translate the connection ID into a real address in the data memory;
• and
• the array of processing elements further configured to access the data in the data memory at a location corresponding to the real address.

A method for generating a real address in a data memory in response to a read/write request, the method comprising:

• generating an access request to at least one of read and write data to a data memory;
• receiving a connection ID in association with the access request, the connection ID designating at least one of a buffer in data memory in which to access the data, and a pattern in which to access the data in the buffer;
• translating the connection ID into a real address in the data memory;
• and
• accessing the data in the data memory at a location corresponding to the real address.
