DEVICE FOR THE PARALLEL PROCESSING OF A DATA STREAM

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for processing a data stream from a device generating data matrices of Nl-lines by Nc-columns. The processing device includes K calculation tiles (TC) and an interconnection means (4) for transferring the data stream between the calculation tiles (TC). According to the invention, at least one calculation tile (TC) comprises: one or more control units (UC) for providing instructions; n processing units (UT), each processing unit (UT) implementing the instructions received from a control unit (UC) on a region of Vl lines by Vc columns of data; a storage unit (UM) for converting the streamed data into regions of Vl lines by (n+Vc-1) columns of data, the storage unit (UM) including a block (31) of converting memories having a size of VlxNc and a block of region registers having a size of Vlx(n+Vc-1); an input/output unit (UES) for conveying the data stream between the interconnection means (4) and the storage unit (UM) as well as between the processing units (UT) and the interconnection means (4). The invention enables a high modularity in the processing of a data stream while limiting power consumption.
