Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018114957A1] Method for performing parallel processing within at least one FPGA chip which comprises one dynamically reconfigurable master unit and at least two dynamically reconfigurable slave units, each slave unit comprising a pool of interconnected slave elements (slave 0, slave 1, slave 2, slave 3), each slave element comprising a plurality of slave IP cores, one slave softcore processor integrating them and an instruction memory, said one master unit comprising one reconfiguration IP core (14), at least one master IP core, one master softcore processor (1) integrating said at least one master IP core and a memory (3) containing a master program for execution by said at least one master IP core, wherein at runtime of the master program, the reconfiguration IP core (14) executes at least one instruction causing the reconfiguration of the pool of slave elements (slave 0, slave 1, slave 2, slave 3) by dynamically varying their number and/or interconnections according to a given configuration defined in said master program and then by storing into each of the instruction memories (102, 202, 302, 402) of the slave elements(slave 0, slave 1, slave 2, slave 3) a corresponding slave program for parallel execution by the slave IP cores.
