1. A method, comprising:
translating higher level program code including higher level instructions having an instruction format that identifies pixels to be accessed from a memory with first and second coordinates from an orthogonal coordinate system into lower level instructions that target a hardware architecture having an array of execution lanes and a shift register array structure that is able to shift data along two different axis, the translating comprising replacing some of the higher level instructions having the instruction format with lower level shift instructions that are to shift data within the shift register array structure when executed by respective execution units of the execution lanes, the translating also comprising replacing others of the higher level instructions having the instruction format with lower level memory access instructions that specify a respective external memory address, the lower level memory access instructions to be executed by respective memory units within respective execution lanes of the execution lane array to access respective external memory space that is external to the respective execution lanes that execute the lower level memory access instructions to access the external memory space. |
