  • Patent number: 8301872
    Abstract: An example method of controlling a data processing system having a cellular structure. The method includes transmitting a first configuration word to a first processing unit in the cellular structure. The method also includes processing data with the first processing unit in accordance with the first configuration word. The method also includes transmitting a second configuration word to the first processing unit. The method also includes transmitting a reconfiguration signal to the first unit, the reconfiguration signal indicating that the first unit should begin processing data in accordance with the second configuration word. If the first processing unit has completed processing data in accordance with the first configuration word prior to when the reconfiguration signal is received by the first processing unit, data may be processed by the first processing unit in accordance with the second configuration word.

  • Patent number: 8230411
    Abstract: For programming of modules which can be reprogrammed during operation and for partitioning of code sequences, a control and/or data flow graph may be extracted from a program and separated into a plurality of subgraphs, which may be distributed among the modules. The separation of the flow graph may be such that connections between different ones of the subgraphs are minimized. During execution of the program, after a first module completes execution of a first part of one of the subgraphs, the first module may be reconfigured for execution of a first part of a second subgraph, while a second module executes a second part of the first subgraph.
