Semiconductor device and data processing method performed by semiconductor device to perform a repeat operation within a reconfigurable pipeline

摘要

The semiconductor device includes a controller and a plurality of dynamically reconfigurable circuits connected to one another in series below the controller to perform operations in the manner of a pipeline. The controller inputs data and reconfiguration information to the first one of the dynamically reconfigurable circuits. Each of the dynamically reconfigurable circuits includes a processing unit that performs a data computation, an updating unit that updates the reconfiguration information, and a repetition controlling unit that determines whether to repeat the computation and controls the data and the reconfiguration information.
