Abstract
Method and apparatus for process accelerator (PA) using configurable hardware accelerators is provided. The PA can include a plurality of processing elements (PEs). The PEs of the PA can be used to accelerate a process and/or one or more threads. PEs can include PE local memory which due to the memories' close physical proximity to the PE can result in reduced energy consumption. The plurality of PEs can be daisy-chain connected or DMA mode can be used to write the result of a PE directly into the PE local memory of another PE for further processing.
