A representative reconfigurable processing circuit and a reconfigurable arithmetic circuit are disclosed, each of which may include input reordering queues; a multiplier shifter and combiner network coupled to the input reordering queues; an accumulator circuit; and a control logic circuit, along with a processor and various interconnection networks. A representative reconfigurable arithmetic circuit has a plurality of operating modes, such as floating point and integer arithmetic modes, logical manipulation modes, Boolean logic, shift, rotate, conditional operations, and format conversion, and is configurable for a wide variety of multiplication modes. Dedicated routing connecting multiplier adder trees allows multiple reconfigurable arithmetic circuits to be reconfigurably combined, in pair or quad configurations, for larger adders, complex multiplies and general sum of products use, for example.

Reconfigurable processor circuit architecture

Systems and methods for configuring a reduced instruction set computer processor architecture to execute fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) logic gates as a streaming topology. The method includes parsing sequential FHE logic gate code, transforming the FHE logic gate code into a set of code modules that each have in input and an output that is a function of the input and which do not pass control to other functions, creating a node wrapper around each code module, configuring at least one of the primary processing cores to implement the logic element equivalents of each element in a manner which operates in a streaming mode wherein data streams out of corresponding arithmetic logic units into the main memory and other ones of the plurality arithmetic logic units.

Representative embodiments are disclosed for a rapid and highly parallel decompression of compressed executable and other files, such as executable files for operating systems and applications, having compressed blocks including run length encoded ('RLE') data having data-dependent references. An exemplary embodiment includes a plurality of processors or processor cores to identify a start or end of each compressed block; to partially decompress, in parallel, a selected compressed block into independent data, dependent (RLE) data, and linked dependent (RLE) data; to sequence the independent data, dependent (RLE) data, and linked dependent (RLE) data from a plurality of partial decompressions of a plurality of compressed blocks, to obtain data specified by the dependent (RLE) data and linked dependent (RLE) data, and to insert the obtained data into a corresponding location in an uncompressed file. The representative embodiments are also applicable to other types of data processing for applications having data dependencies.

Parallel processing of data having data dependencies for accelerating the launch and performance of operating systems and other computing applications

Systems and methods for reconfiguring a reduced instruction set computer processor architecture are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: provide a primary processing core consisting of a RISC processor; provide a node wrapper associated with each of the plurality of secondary cores, the node wrapper comprising access memory associates with each secondary core, and a load/unload matrix associated with each secondary core; operate the architecture in a manner in which, for at least one core, data is read from and written to the at least cache memory in a control-centric mode; the secondary cores are selectively partitioned to operate in a streaming mode wherein data streams out of the corresponding secondary core into the main memory and other ones of the plurality of secondary cores.

Reconfigurable reduced instruction set computer processor architecture with fractured cores

A method and system of efficient use and programming of a multi-processing core device. The system includes a programming construct that is based on stream-domain code. A programmable core based computing device is disclosed. The computing device includes a plurality of processing cores coupled to each other. A memory stores stream-domain code including a stream defining a stream destination module and a stream source module. The stream source module places data values in the stream and the stream conveys data values from the stream source module to the stream destination module. A runtime system detects when the data values are available to the stream destination module and schedules the stream destination module for execution on one of the plurality of processing cores.

Method and apparatus for a multi-core system for implementing stream-based computations having inputs from multiple streams

A method and system of compiling and linking source stream programs for efficient use of multi-node devices. The system includes a compiler, a linker, a loader and a runtime component. The process converts a source code stream program to a compiled object code that is used with a programmable node based computing device having a plurality of processing nodes coupled to each other. The programming modules include stream statements for input values and output values in the form of sources and destinations for at least one of the plurality of processing nodes and stream statements that determine the streaming flow of values for the at least one of the plurality of processing nodes. The compiler converts the source code stream based program to object modules, object module instances and executables. The linker matches the object module instances to at least one of the multiple cores. The loader loads the tasks required by the object modules in the nodes and configure the nodes matched with the object module instances. The runtime component runs the converted program.
