ITERATIVE PROCESS WITH ROTATED ARCHITECTURE FOR REDUCED PIPELINE DEPENDENCY

摘要

In a pipeline machine where, in an iterative process, one or more subsequent functions employ one or more parameters determined by one or more antecedent functions and the one or more subsequent functions generate one or more parameters for the one or more antecedent functions, pipeline dependency is reduced by advancing or rotating the iterative process by preliminarily providing to the subsequent function the next one or more parameters on which it is dependent and thereafter: generating by the subsequent function, in response to the one or more parameters on which is it dependent, the next one or more parameters required by the one or more antecedent functions and then, generating by the one or more antecedent functions, in response to the one or more parameters required by the one or more antecedent functions, the next one or more parameters for input to the subsequent function for the next iteration.
