摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a processing method and apparatus for implementing a systolic-array-like structure. Input data are stored in a depth-configurable register means (DCF) in a predetermined sequence, and are supplied to a processing means (FU) for processing said input data based on control signals generated from instruction data, 5 wherein the depth of the register means (DCF) is controlled in accordance with the instruction data. Thereby, systolic arrays can be mapped onto a programmable processor, e.g. a VLIW processor, without the need for explicitly issuing operations to implement the register moves that constitute the delay lines of the array.</p> |
