Adaptive Hardware Preconfigured Controller for Dynamically Reconfigurable Array Computing Systems

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adapting hardware pre-configuration controller for a dynamic restructural array calculation system. The controller has the functions that the optimum hardware parameters of a dynamic restructural calculation array can be selected according to different application scenes and calculation requirements; the dynamic restructural calculation array is pre-configured; a core structure comprises an array scale calculation logic, a routing structure calculation logic, a pre-configuration information cache unit, a pre-configuration information sending control unit and a pre-configuration information output interface. A plurality of calculation logics are tightly coupled to form a complete and optimum hardware parameter selector; the corresponding pre-configuration information is sent to the dynamic restructural calculation array; the array scale and the routing structure are pre-configured, so that the dynamic restructural array calculation system reaches a better balance in the aspects of flexibility and specificity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of embedded reconfigurable design, in particular to an adaptive hardware preconfigured controller for a dynamically reconfigurable array computing system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, the requirements for computing platforms in various application fields are also increasing. Although the traditional ASIC computing has a high energy efficiency ratio, its high degree of customization makes it less flexible. Although the DSP processor has strong flexibility, its performance cannot meet the requirements due to the limited number of arithmetic units. Reconfigurable computing, as a new type of computing model, has gained more and more attention. Its main application areas include multimedia processing, mobile communication, digital signal processing, data encryption and decryption, etc. Reconfigurable computing essentially uses the characteristics of repeated con...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the differences in the computing characteristics of different algorithms, a single reconfigurable computing structure cannot meet the needs of different algorithms, resulting in low execution efficiency of the computing units inside the array. The main reason is that the array routing and scale cannot meet the characteristics of the algorithm. , resulting in low array utilization
