A processing system includes at least one core, at least one accelerator function unit (AFU), a microcontroller, and a memory access unit. The AFU and the core share a plurality of virtual addresses to access a memory. The microcontroller is coupled between the core and the AFU. The core develops and stores a task in one of the virtual addresses. The microcontroller analyzes the task and dispatches the task to the AFU. The AFU accesses the virtual address indicating where the task is stored through the memory access unit to executes the task.

Processing system for dispatching tasks and memory access method thereof

A processing system includes at least one core, a plurality of accelerator function unit (AFU) and a memory access unit. The memory access unit includes at least one pipeline resource and an arbitrator. The core develops a plurality of tasks. Each of the AFU is used to execute at least one of the tasks which corresponds to several memory access requests. The arbitrator selects one of the AFUs using a round-robin method at each clock period to transmit a corresponding memory access request of the selected AFU to the pipeline resource, so that the selected AFU executes the memory access request through the pipeline resource to read or write data related to the task.

Processing system with round-robin mechanism and its memory access method

A processing system includes a core, at least one accelerator function unit (AFU) and an accelerator interface. The core is utilized to develop at least one task. The AFU is utilized to execute the task. The accelerator interface is arranged between the core and the AFU to receive an accelerator interface instruction transmitted by the processing core and instruct the AFU to execute the task according to the accelerator interface instruction.
