Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a scalable compute fabricare provided herein. The method includes determining a workflow for processing by the scalable compute fabric, wherein the workflow is based on an instruction set. A pipeline in configured dynamically for processing the workflow, and the workflow is executed using the pipeline.
Claims28
A method for providing a scalable compute fabric, comprising:
- logic o determine a workflow for processing by the scalable compute fabric, wherein the workflow is based on an instruction set;
- logic to configure a pipeline dynamically for processing the workflow;
- and
- logic to execute the workflow using the pipeline.
The method of claim wherein the provided scalable compute fabric is integrated into a printing environment.
A computing device with a scalable compute fabric, comprising:
- a sequencer;
- a plurality of logical processing elements comprising:
- a processing core;
- a logic block;
- an I/O device;
- an I/O channel;
- a bus;
- a display device;
- and
- a memory resource, wherein the sequencer controls and sequences commands and data in an imaging pipeline, and the sequencer, processing core, logic block, I/O device, I/O channel, bus, display device, and memory resource comprise the scalable compute fabric that is dynamically configurable to generate the imaging pipeline, where the sequencer accepts multiple instructions multiple data (MIMD) streams from one or more of a queue, shared memory command and data region, or a communications protocol stream across a network or interconnect.
A printing device to print a workload, comprising a print object module configured to:
- determine a workflow for processing a scalable compute fabric;
- configure a pipeline dynamically for processing the workflow;
- and
- execute the workflow using the pipeline.
The printing device of aim 26, wherein the workflow is an imaging workload.
The printing device of 26, wherein processing the workflow includes at least one or more of:
- image processing;
- image enhancements;
- image analysis;
- image input;
- image conversion;
- or
- any combination thereof.
