Reformatting Matrices to Improve Computing Efficiency

摘要

A data ordering device includes a plurality of inputs N and a plurality of outputs M. There is a sorting network coupled between the plurality of inputs N and the plurality of outputs M. There are one or more latches comprising a buffer coupled between each input of the plurality of inputs N and a corresponding input of the sorting network. There are one or more latches comprising a buffer coupled between each output of the plurality of outputs M and a corresponding output of the sorting network. There is an input for a control signal operative to initiate a sorting of data between the plurality of inputs N and the plurality of outputs M. The data ordering device is coupled to a core of a central processing unit.
