  • Publication number: 20260064391
    Abstract: A fracturable data path of a configurable unit in an array of configurable units of a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor is disclosed. The fracturable data generates a plurality of independent address sequences. The plurality of independent address sequences includes a first address sequence generated using a first address calculation and a second address sequence generated using a second address calculation. The fracturable data path comprises a plurality of pipelined computation stages.

  • Patent number: 12487802
    Abstract: A compiler generates a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor. The configuration file, when loaded into the reconfigurable processor enables a fracturable data path in a configurable unit of the reconfigurable processor to produce multiple independent address sequences by analyzing two address calculations to determine the number of pipeline stages for each calculation. The configuration file includes first and second configuration data for distinct sets of computational stages within the pipelined computation stages, allowing the processor to generate a first address sequence using N pipeline stages and a second address sequence using M pipeline stages, where N and M are positive integers.

  • Patent number: 11928445
    Abstract: A complier produces a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path of a configurable unit in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor to concurrently generate different address sequences generated using different address associated with different operations. The fracturable data path includes multiple computation stages respectively including a pipeline register. The compiler analyzes a first address calculation and a second address calculation and assigns a first set of stages to the first operation to generate the first address sequence and a second set of stages to the second operation to generate the second address sequence using the second set of stages, based on the analysis. A configuration file for the configurable unit is generated by the compiler that assigns the first set of stages to the first operation and the second set of stages to the second operation and includes two or more immediate values for each computation stage.
