Abstract

A microprocessor circuit may include a software programmable microprocessor core and a data memory accessible via a data memory bus. The data memory may include sets of configuration data structured according to respective predetermined data structure specifications for configurable math hardware accelerators, and sets of input data for configurable math hardware accelerators, each configured to apply a predetermined signal processing function to the set of input data according to received configuration data. A configuration controller is coupled to the data memory via the data memory bus and to the configurable math hardware accelerators. The configuration controller may fetch the configuration data for each math hardware accelerator from the data memory and translate the configuration data. The configuration controller may transmit each set of configuration data to the corresponding configurable math hardware accelerator and write the configuration data to configuration registers of the math hardware accelerator.
