Abstract
An array of ALUs and a controlling and controlling unit providing the array sequentially ordered subapplications, wherein an ALU signals completion of execution of a subapplication to the controlling unit, which then provides a next sequential subapplication to the requesting ALU.
Claims1
A method for operating a processor having an array of ALUs, the method comprising:
- a controlling unit providing subapplications to said array of data processing cells in a sequential order, wherein a subapplication comprises a plurality of processing instructions to be executed by an ALU of a data processing cell;
- a finished ALU of the array of ALUs sending a trigger to the controlling unit upon finishing processing a subapplication;
- in response to receiving the trigger, the controlling unit supplying the next in sequence subapplication to the finished ALU while other ALUs continue processing subapplications provided to them;
- and
- in response to receiving said next in sequence subapplication, the finished ALU processing data using the processing instructions of the next in sequence subapplication.
