MULTI-GRANULARITY PARALLEL STORAGE SYSTEM AND STORAGE

摘要

A multi-granularity parallel storage system and memory that support parallel read/write of rows and columns in multiple granularities. The storage system includes a R/W port and a memory. The memory includes W memory blocks and a data gating network. Each of the memory blocks is a 2D array consisting of multiple memory units and each memory row of the 2D array includes W memory units. For each memory block, one memory row can be read/written at a time, W is the nth power of 2, and n is a natural number. The storage system can support parallel read/write of matrix row and column data of different data types at the same time, and thus essentially eliminate the need for a transposition operation in signal processing and improve efficiency of signal processing.
