  • Patent number: 11080053
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein include a signal processor implemented as an overlay on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device that utilizes special purpose, hardened intellectual property (IP) modules such as memory blocks and digital signal processing (DSP) cores. A Processing Element (PE) is built from one or more DSP cores connected to additional logic. Interconnected as an array, the PEs may operate in a computational model such as Single Instruction-Multiple Thread (SIMT). A software hierarchy is described that transforms the SIMT array into an effective signal processor.
    Type: Grant
