Abstract
A data processing unit having a field of clocked logic cells (PAEs) which is operable in different configuration states and a clock preselecting means for preselecting logic cell clocking. The clock preselecting means is designed in such a way that, depending on the state, a first clock is preselected at least at a first cell (PAE) and an additional clock is preselected at least at an additional cell.
Claims10
A method of data processing by operating a matrix of clocked functional units which are configurable with respect to clock rate, interconnection, and functionality, comprising:
- setting a configuration for execution of a complex operation on data packets, wherein the setting of the configuration comprises:
- selecting a group of the functional units for the configuration, the group including at least a first functional unit and a second functional unit;
- and
- for each functional unit of the group setting a respective functionality of the functional unit;
- and
- determining a first clock rate for the first functional unit for execution of its set functionality and a second clock rate for the second functional unit for execution of its set functionality, the second clock rate differing from the first clock rate;
- wherein:
- each of the first and second clock rates is generated from a global master clock;
- and
- the first clock rate is determined, at least in part, based on the functionality set for the second functional unit.
