A Stream Processor Architecture Based on the Configurable CEPRA-S

摘要

Stream processing is a very efficient method to process large amounts of data. In contrast to vector architectures, stream processing involves instruction stream which are associated with data streams instead of a single instruction operating on data streams (vectors) thus facilitating individual processing of stream elements. Furthermore, operators in the arithmetic/logic unit can be configured to meet special processing requirements of an application. In the following article an architecture which can be configured as a stream processor is described.
