Abstract
A programmable device suitable for software defined radio terminal is disclosed. In one aspect, the device includes a scalar cluster providing a scalar data path and a scalar register file and arranged for executing scalar instructions. The device may further include at least two interconnected vector clusters connected with the scalar cluster. Each of the at least two vector clusters provides a vector data path and a vector register file and is arranged for executing at least one vector instruction different from vector instructions performed by any other vector cluster of the at least two vector clusters.
Claims21
A programmable device comprising:
- a scalar portion providing a scalar data path and a scalar register file and configured to execute scalar instructions;
- and
- at least two interconnected vector portions, the vector portions being connected with the scalar portion, each of the at least two vector portions providing a vector data path and a vector register file and configured to execute at least one vector instruction different from vector instructions performed by any other vector portion of the at least two vector portions.
A programmable device comprising:
- means for executing scalar instructions, the scalar instruction executing means providing a scalar data path and a scalar register file;
- and
- means for executing vector instructions, the vector instruction executing means comprising at least two interconnected vector portions, the vector portions being connected with the scalar instruction executing means, each of the at least two vector portions providing a vector data path and a vector register file and configured to execute at least one vector instruction different from vector instructions performed by any other vector portion of the at least two vector portions.
