In the 1990s, improvements to a technology could clearly distinguish between hardware improvements (eg, improvements to circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or software improvements (for process flow improvements). However, as technology advances, many of today's method flow improvements can be seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always get the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming the improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Therefore, it cannot be said that the improvement of a method flow cannot be implemented by hardware entity modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) (such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)) is an integrated circuit whose logic function is determined by the user programming the device. The designer is self-programming to "integrate" a digital system onto a single PLD without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate a dedicated integrated circuit chip 2 . Moreover, today, instead of manually making integrated circuit chips, this programming is mostly implemented using "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used in programming development, but before compiling The original code has to be written in a specific programming language. This is called the Hardware Description Language (HDL). HDL is not the only one, but there are many kinds, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language). , AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), Confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc., the most commonly used is VHDL (Very-High-Speed) Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog2. It should also be apparent to those skilled in the art that the hardware flow for implementing the logic method flow can be easily obtained by simply programming the method flow into the integrated circuit with a few hardware description languages.

The controller can be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller can take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer readable medium storing computer readable program code (eg, software or firmware) executable by the (micro)processor. In the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic controllers, and embedded microcontrollers, examples of controllers include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, The Microchip PIC18F26K20 and the Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller can also be implemented as part of the memory's control logic.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that in addition to implementing the controller in purely computer readable program code, the controller can be logically programmed by means of logic gates, switches, ASICs, programmable logic controllers, and embedding. The form of a microcontroller or the like to achieve the same function. Such a controller can therefore be considered a hardware component, and the means for implementing various functions included therein can also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even a device for implementing various functions can be considered as a software module that can be both a method of implementation and a structure within a hardware component.

The system, device, module or unit illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product having a certain function.

The computer software product can include instructions for causing a computer device (which can be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) to perform the methods described in various embodiments of the present application or portions of the embodiments. The computer software product can be stored in a memory, which may include non-persistent memory, random access memory (RAM), and/or nonvolatile memory in a computer readable medium, such as read only memory (ROM) or Flash memory. Memory is an example of a computer readable medium.
