Abstract
A system includes a memory, a sequencer, and a set of application engines in communication with the sequencer and memory. The set of application engines includes a streaming output engine with a storage engine, alignment circuit, and data buffer. The storage engine includes a memory opcode output and memory address output in communication with the memory. The storage engine employs these outputs to access the memory by supplying memory transaction opcodes and memory addresses. The alignment circuit receives data from other application engines in the set of application engines. In operation, the alignment circuit aligns data transfers from an application engine into a data word. The data buffer stores data words from the alignment circuit and transfers them to locations accessed in the memory by the storage engine.
