In-memory calculation method based on coarse-grained reconfigurable array

Abstract

The invention relates to an in-memory processing system based on CGRA. The method is characterized by comprising a central processing unit, a main memory, a reconfigurable array and a global instruction register; a 3D stacking mode is adopted, each main memory block corresponds to a logic layer, and the logic layers and a memory chip are directly connected through the TSV technology; the processing unit of the reconfigurable array is configured as a storage unit or an arithmetic logic unit; the storage unit is used for exchanging data with the memory; and an arithmetic logic unit is used for performing calculating according to the register data, the nearby storage unit data and the configuration information. The in-memory processing system has the beneficial effects that the in-memory processing system has obvious performance advantages and wide application advantages, can realize the function simulation of the architecture under a simulation platform, is applied to a specific data intensive algorithm, adapts to more algorithm applications, and has higher flexibility; the reconfigurable array global instruction memories are all designed asymmetrically; and the transmission efficiency of the internal configuration data of the reconfigurable array is greatly improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a highly efficient design of an embodiment in the field of interior computing architecture, and more particularly to the interior calculation architecture design scheme implemented based on coarse granularity reconfigurable arrays. Background technique [0002] As the data explosive growth in today's society and the increasing demand for data analysis, traditional computing architecture facing huge challenges in performance and flexibility. Traditional computing architecture is accessed from memory. When facing large-scale data, since memory bandwidth cannot be expanded with the expansion of application data size, this has become a bottleneck point for restrictive performance. Data movement occupies a large number of runtime and energy consumption, and the cost of handling data is more expensive than calculations, this series of issues makes people think about the possibility of processing big data in memory.
