Abstract
A direct memory access ('DMA')-based multi-processor array architecture that may be implemented in a single integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of processing units. A first processing unit and a second processing unit of the plurality of processing units are topologically coupled via a first DMA block. The first DMA block includes a first dual-ported random access memory and a first decoder. A multiple-processor array is provided by topologically coupling the first processing unit and the second processing unit via the first direct memory access block.
