METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MIXED PROCESSING OF VECTOR AND SCALAR

摘要

Disclosed are a method and device for mixed processing of a vector and a scalar, used for solving the technical problem in the prior vector and scalar processing architecture of low efficiency and poor versatility when under intense vector interaction and scalar interaction. The present invention uses a vector processor (VCORE) comprising a vector arithmetic unit (VAU) and a first scalar arithmetic unit (QAU_V) to execute in a signal processing operation a vector arithmetic operation and a scalar arithmetic operation having a tightly-coupled relationship with the vector arithmetic operation; and uses a scalar processor (SCORE) dedicated to high-efficiency completion of a scalar operation in the signal processing operation to execute the scalar operation in the signal processing operation. The technical solution of the present invention adapts greatly to the operation flexibility of communication signal processing and the requirement of high density vector operations, and is highly suited for application in future SDR processing.
