System having co-located functional resources and applications thereof

摘要

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for wirelessly coupling functional resources. Such a system includes a plurality of co-located, wireless-enabled functional units of a first type and a plurality of co-located, wireless-enabled functional units of a second type. At least one of the wireless-enabled functional units of the first type is wirelessly coupled with one or more of the wireless-enabled functional units of the second type. The wireless-enabled functional units of the first type may be wireless-enabled processing units, and the wireless-enabled functional units of the second type may be wireless-enabled memory units. In an example, the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first type are co-located on a first chip, and the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the second type are co-located on a second chip. The first chip and the second chip may be located in a single device or in separate devices.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
co-locating a plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of a first type; co-locating a plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of a second type; dynamically allocating a functional resource of one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the second type to one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first type such that at least one of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first type becomes wirelessly coupled with one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the second type, wherein the functional resource of one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the second type comprises a first processing module or a first memory module; and sharing resource information about one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first or second type with another one of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first or second type, to identify resources that the another one of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units can borrow to perform one or more required tasks, wherein the resource information includes an allotted usage time for using the identified resources, and wherein the identified resources comprise a second processing module or a second memory module included within the one or more of the plurality of wireless-enabled functional units of the first or second type.
