DATA STREAM PROCESSING DEVICE WITH RECONFIGURABLE DATA STREAM PROCESSING RESOURCES AND DATA STREAM PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

A data stream processing device includes a plurality of data providing units, a plurality of processing units, and control circuitry. The data providing units are configured to output data values received via a plurality of data inputs, respectively. The processing units are configured to generate data outputs based on the data values, respectively. The control circuitry includes a mode selection input and is configured to simultaneously provide data values of different data streams to the data inputs of the data providing units, respectively, in response to the mode selection input receiving a signal indicating a first mode, and simultaneously provide a plurality of successive groups of data values of one of the data streams to the data inputs of the data providing units, respectively, in response to the mode selection input not receiving the signal indicating the first mode.
