Abstract
Performing n-dimensional stencil processing may include providing a memory unit organized in memory banks for storing elements of an nD matrix, processing the matrix using a stencil vector unit in a first processing direction of the matrix tile-wise(/d). Data elements of the matrix can be equally distributed over the memory banks, and the number of memory banks can be equal to the number of data elements processable by the stencil vector unit in parallel, which is equal to the number of data elements in a width direction of one of the tiles. Additionally, the boundary elements can be grouped in the width direction of the tiles into a nD sub-matrix, and the nD sub-matrix can be processed equally to the processing the nD matrix orthogonal to the first processing direction.
