Abstract
An array processor includes processor element arrays (PEAs) distributed in rows and columns. The PEAs are configured to perform operations on parameter values. A first sequencer received a first direct memory access (DMA) instruction that includes a request to read data from at least one address in memory. A texture address (TA) engine requests the data from the memory based on the at least one address and a texture data (TD) engine provides the data to the PEAs. The PEAs provide first synchronization signals to the TD engine to indicate availability of registers for receiving the data. The TD engine provides second synchronization signals to the first sequencer in response to receiving acknowledgments that the PEAs have consumed the data.
