APPARATUS TO ENABLE TIME AND AREA EFFICIENT ACCESS TO SQUARE MATRICES AND ITS TRANSPOSES DISTRIBUTED STORED IN INTERNAL MEMORY OF PROCESSING ELEMENTS WORKING IN SIMD MODE AND METHOD THEREFORE

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus having a plurality of processing elements which work in single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) mode. The processing elements have internal memory units. Instead of a full crossbar connection, only connections from each processing element to selected internal memory units are provided. These internal memory connections are selected in a way to enable time and area efficient access only to the own internal memory for direct access to matrix stored in a distributed manner in the internal memory units and to internal memory units which are needed for the generation of the transposed matrix to perform a corner turn execution.
