DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTERLEAVED STORAGE OF DATA ELEMENTS

摘要

A data processing device 100 comprises a plurality of storage circuits 130, 160, which store a plurality of data elements of the bits in an interleaved manner. Data processing device also comprises a consumer 110 with a number of lanes 120. The consumer is able to individually access each of the plurality of storage circuits 130, 160 in order to receive into the lanes 120 either a subset of the plurality of data elements or y bits of each of the plurality of data elements. The consumer 110 is also able to execute a common instruction of each of the plurality of lanes 120. The relationship of the bits is such that b is greater than y and is an integer multiple of y. Each of the plurality of storage circuits 130, 160 stores at most y bits of each of the data elements. Furthermore, each of the storage circuits 130, 160 stores at most y/b of the plurality of data elements. By carrying out the interleaving in this manner, the plurality of storage circuits 130, 160 comprise no more than b/y storage circuits.
