Recovering from errors in streaming DSP applications

Abstract

A data processing system is provided in which processing circuitry performs at least one of a series of data processing operations in dependence upon a set of data values and control circuitry controls execution of the data processing operations. Control path error detection circuitry is provided for detecting a control path error associated with an error in operation of the control circuitry and data path error handling circuitry is arranged to handle recovery from errors in the data values. The control path error detection circuitry is configured to cause the data path error handling circuitry to perform recovery from detected control path errors enabling the series of data processing operations to continue despite the occurrence of the control path error. An associated method and computer program product are also provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
