Abstract
A reconfigurable processor for efficiently performing a vector operation, and a method of controlling the reconfigurable processor are provided. The reconfigurable processor designates at least one of a plurality of processing elements as a vector lane based on vector lane configuration information, and allocates a vector operation to the designated vector lane.
Claims20
A reconfigurable processor comprising:
- a plurality of processing elements (PEs);
- a designation unit configured to designate at least one of the PEs as a vector lane based on vector lane configuration information;
- and
- an allocation unit configured to allocate a vector operation to the designated vector lane.
1 more element
A method of controlling a reconfigurable processor, the method comprising:
- designating at least one of a plurality of processing elements (PEs) as a vector lane based on vector lane configuration information;
- and
- allocating a vector operation to the designated vector lane.
A reconfigurable processor comprising:
- a reconfigurable array of processing elements for processing operations using one or more vector lanes;
- and
- a control unit to read vector lane configuration information from a memory, to designate at least one vector lane including at least one processing element, and to allocate a respective operation to each of the at least one vector lanes.
