A method for independent dynamic transfer of data flow processors (dfps) as well as building blocks with two - or multi-dimensionally programmable cell structures (fpgas, dpgas, or the like.)

摘要

The invention relates to a method for dynamic reconfiguration of FPGA, in which one or more switching tables consisting of one or more controls and one or more configuration storages are integrated in the module or connected thereto. Configuration words of a switching table are transferred to a configurable element or to multiple configurable elements of the module which then set a valid configuration. The load logic or the configurable elements of the module or modules can write data in the configuration storage or storages of the switching table or tables. The control of the switching table or tables can recognize individual inputs as instructions and execute them. The control can also recognize and distinguish different events and execute a relevant defined action. Upon reacting to the occurrence of an event or a combination of events, the control moves the position pointer or pointers. Whenever configuration data and not control instructions are concerned, the control sends said configuration data to the configurable element or elements declared in the configuration data.
