  • Publication number: 20220283963
    Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for transferring data between data processing engines in an array using shared memory. In one embodiment, certain engines in the array have connections to the memory in neighboring engines. For example, each engine may have its own assigned memory module which can be accessed directly (e.g., without using a streaming or memory mapped interconnect). In addition, the surrounding engines (referred to herein as the neighboring engines) may also include direct connections to the memory module. Using these direct connections, the cores can load and/or store data in the neighboring memory modules.

  • Publication number: 20220015588
    Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for communicating between data processing engines in an array of data processing engines. In one embodiment, the array is a 2D array where each of the DPEs includes one or more cores. In addition to the cores, the data processing engines can include streaming interconnects which transmit streaming data using two different modes: circuit switching and packet switching. Circuit switching establishes reserved point-to-point communication paths between endpoints in the interconnect which routes data in a deterministic manner. Packet switching, in contrast, transmits streaming data that includes headers for routing data within the interconnect in a non-deterministic manner. In one embodiment, the streaming interconnects can have one or more ports configured to perform circuit switching and one or more ports configured to perform packet switching.

  • Patent number: 11016822
    Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for communicating directly between cores in an array of data processing engines. In one embodiment, the array is a 2D array where each of the data processing engines includes one or more cores. In addition to the cores, the data processing engines can include a memory module (with memory banks for storing data) and an interconnect which provides connectivity between the cores. Using the interconnect, however, can add latency when transmitting data between the cores. In the embodiments herein, the array includes core-to-core communication links that directly connect one core in the array to another core. The cores can use these communication links to bypass the interconnect and the memory module to transmit data directly.
