Zusammenfassung:A compiler generates a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor. The configuration file, when loaded into the reconfigurable processor enables a fracturable data path in a configurable unit of the reconfigurable processor to produce multiple independent address sequences by analyzing two address calculations to determine the number of pipeline stages for each calculation. The configuration file includes first and second configuration data for distinct sets of computational stages within the pipelined computation stages, allowing the processor to generate a first address sequence using N pipeline stages and a second address sequence using M pipeline stages, where N and M are positive integers.
