DATA STREAMING UNIT AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE DATA STREAMING UNIT

摘要

A data streaming unit (DSU) and a method for operating a DSU are disclosed. In an embodiment the DSU includes a memory interface configured to be connected to a storage unit, a compute engine interface configured to be connected to a compute engine (CE) and an address generator configured to manage address data representing address locations in the storage unit. The data streaming unit further includes a data organization unit configured to access data in the storage unit and to reorganize the data to be forwarded to the compute engine, wherein the memory interface is communicatively connected to the address generator and the data organization unit, wherein the address generator is communicatively connected to the data organization unit, and wherein the data organization unit is communicatively connected to the compute engine interface.
