Method for automatic dynamic unloading of data flow processors (dfp) as well as modules with bidimensional or multidimensional programmable cell structures (fpgas, dpgas or the like)

摘要

The dynamic reconfiguration method uses one or more switching tables. These comprise one or more controls and one or more configuration memories and exist on or are connected to the module. Configuration words are transmitted from a switching table to a configurable element or several configurable elements of the modules, which set a desired configuration. The positioning logic or the configurable elements can write data into the configuration memory of the switching table(s). The table controls identify individual inputs as commands and can carry out these commands. The controls recognise different events and can differentiate between them and carry out a specified action. In response to an event or combination of events the controls move a position indicator. When the data is configuration data and not a control command the data is sent to the configurable elements. The control can transmit one or more messages to the logic which recognises and analyses the signals. The logic transmits data to the configuration memory of the switching table(s).
