Abstract
A reconfigurable data processor comprises an array of processing units arranged to perform execution fragments of a data processing operation. A control barrier network is coupled to processing units in the array. The control barrier network comprises a control bus configurable to form signal routes in the control barrier network, and a plurality of control barrier logic units having inputs and outputs connected to the control bus and to the array of processing units. The logic units in the plurality of logic units are configurable to consume source tokens and status signals on the inputs and produce barrier tokens on the outputs based on the source tokens and status signals on the inputs. Also, the logic units can produce enable signals for the array of processing units based on the source tokens and status signals on the inputs.
