Abstract
A memory controller to provide memory access services in an adaptive computing engine is provided. The controller comprises: a network interface configured to receive a memory request from a programmable network; and a memory interface configured to access a memory to fulfill the memory request from the programmable network, wherein the memory interface receives and provides data for the memory request to the network interface, the network interface configured to send data to and receive data from the programmable network.
Claims17
A computing machine comprising:
- a memory;
- a plurality of computational nodes embodied in an integrated circuit and each configured to make requests for memory accesses to the memory, at least two of the computational nodes being heterogeneous from each other;
- a network coupled to the memory and the plurality of computational nodes, the network embodied in the integrated circuit;
- and
- a memory controller node coupled to the network and configured to receive requests for memory accesses by the computational nodes to the memory and generate two-dimensional memory addresses from the requests.
