  • Patent number: 12314771
    Abstract: A perception processing system includes a memory and a main controller. The main controller includes modules and implements a data processing pipeline including algorithm stages, which are executed in parallel relative to sets of data and are executed sequentially relative to each of the sets of data. The algorithm stages share resources of the modules and the memory to process the sets of data and generate perception information. One of the modules executes global and local controllers. The global controller sets a processing rate for the local controllers. The local controllers monitor current processing rates of the algorithm stages. When one of the current processing rates is less than the set processing rate, the corresponding one of the local controllers sends a first signal to the global controller and in response the global controller sends a broadcast signal to the local controllers to adjust the current processing rates.
