ABSTRACT:
A field programmable gate array includes a virtual bus interface that receives a control word from a host processor over a standard I/O bus. A configurable very long instruction word (VLIW) controller receives the control word via virtual bus interface signals mapped from the virtual bus interface. A reconfigurable communication and control fabric controls the data paths and programming modes of single instruction-multiple data (SIMD) processing element cells. The configurable VLIW controller has an interface with the reconfigurable communication and control fabric. SIMD processing element cells are controlled by the configurable VLIW controller through the reconfigurable communication and control fabric via the interface.
