Abstract

A computing device performs parallel computations using a set of thread processing units and a memory shuffle engine. The memory shuffle engine includes a register array to store an array of data elements retrieved from a memory buffer, and an array of input selectors. According to a first control signal, each input selector transfers at least a first data element from a corresponding subset of the register array, which is coupled to the input selector via input lines, to one or more corresponding thread processing units. According to a second control signal, each input selector transfers at least a second data element from another subset of the register array, which is coupled to another input selector via other input lines, to the one or more corresponding thread processing units.
