A reconfigurable processor that includes a computational unit and a data prefetch unit coupled to the computational unit, where the data prefetch uni t retrieves data from a memory and supplies the data to the computational unit through memory and a data access unit, and where the data prefetch unit, memory, and data access unit is configured by a program. Also, a reconfigurable hardware system that includes a common memory; and one or mor e reconfigurable processors coupled to the common memory, where at least one o f the reconfigurable processors includes a data prefetch unit to read and writ e data between the unit and the common memory, and where the data prefetch uni t is configured by a program executed on the system. In addition, a method of transferring data that includes transferring data between a memory and a dat a prefetch unit in a reconfigurable processor; and transferring the data betwe en a computational unit and the data prefetch unit. |
