  • Patent number: 9317481
    Abstract: A data access method and device for parallel FFT computation. In the method, FFT data and twiddle factors are stored in multi-granularity parallel memories, and divided into groups throughout the computation flow according to a uniform butterfly representation. Each group of data involves multiple butterflies that support parallel computation. Meanwhile, according to the butterfly representation, it is convenient to generate data address and twiddle factor coefficient address for each group. With different R/W granularities, it is possible to read/write data and corresponding twiddle factors in parallel from the multi-granularity memories. The method and device further provide data access devices for parallel FFT computation. In the method and device, no conflict will occur during read/write operations of memories, and no extract step is required for sorting the read/written data.
