Pattern match and pattern-recognition refer in target pattern(The pattern being retrieved, target pattern)Middle lookup and inspection Rope pattern(For the pattern of retrieval, search pattern)Identical or close pattern.Wherein, pattern match requirement is found Identical pattern, pattern-recognition, which requires nothing more than, finds close pattern.Except special instruction, this specification does not differentiate between pattern match And pattern-recognition, and it is referred to as the various operations carried out to pattern with mode treatment.
Mode treatment(Including pattern match and pattern-recognition)It is widely used.Conventional mode treatment includes character string Match somebody with somebody, code matches, speech recognition and image recognition etc..String matching is widely used in big data analysis(As finance data analysis, Electric quotient data analysis, bioinformatics)Deng field:From big data(It is mostly at present text database, contains target string)In Searching character string is searched, and carries out statistical analysis.Code matches are widely used in anti-Malware(Anti-malware, such as network Safety, computer antivirus)Deng field:Virus identifications are searched from network packet(virus signature)Or check network Whether packet meets the network standard(network rules), so as to determine whether network packet is safe.Speech recognition will be logical Cross speech transducer and collect or be stored in voice signal in audio file storehouse and acoustic model repository and language model storehouse Match somebody with somebody.Image recognition will be collected or stored to the picture signal in image file storehouse and iconic model storehouse by imaging sensor Matching.
With the arrival in big data epoch, traditional pattern base(Including search modes storehouse and target pattern storehouse)Turn into big Type database(TB levels are to PB levels, or even EB levels):Search modes storehouse(Including all patterns for being used to retrieve)Data volume It is very big, and target pattern storehouse(Including all patterns being retrieved, usually customer data base)Data volume it is then more huge.Mesh The von Neumann frameworks that preceding computer uses can not meet requirement of the big data epoch to mode treatment.In von In Neumann frameworks, the processor for tupe and the memory for memory module are separation:Memory(As firmly Disk, CD, tape etc.)Memory module data are used only as, and any mode treatment can not be carried out to it;All mode treatments are all By external processor(Such as CPU, GPU)To complete.It is well known that bandwidth is limited between the processor and memory of separation, just All data are read in slave pattern storehouse just to take long enough, and Treatment Analysis still more is carried out to them.Therefore, to large-scale pattern The mode treatment in storehouse needs to expend for a long time.
One typical case of mode treatment is image recognition.A kind of means of image recognition are according to iconic model storehouse pair User images carry out pattern-recognition.Wherein, the substantial amounts of iconic model of iconic model library storage.In identification, schema processor will User image data and the iconic model in iconic model storehouse one by one compared with, find immediate iconic model.Because tradition is schemed As processor(Such as CPU, GPU)Number of cores is limited, the pattern-recognition depth of parallelism is relatively low, and iconic model library storage is in external memory(Such as Hard disk)In, that image processor obtains iconic model is time-consuming longer, therefore traditional images processor efficiency when handling image recognition is low Under.

The Vertical collection of 3D-M arrays 170 and mode processing circuit 180 brings many advantages:Due to 3D-M arrays 170 not Substrate Area 0 is accounted for, it can be integrated on mode processing circuit 180, and this can increase memory capacity, reduce chip area.It is heavier Want, because 3D-M arrays 170 and mode processing circuit 180 are in same chip 200 and apart from close, energy between them Realize large bandwidth.By using extensive parallel computing, distributed mode processor 200 can be realized quick to large-scale pattern base Mode treatment.
Fig. 5 A- Fig. 5 C disclose the specific implementation of three kinds of storage processing units.Fig. 5 A embodiment corresponds to Fig. 2A Middle storage processing unit 100ij.Mode processing circuit 180 is that a 3D-M array 170 services, and it is complete by 3D-M arrays 170 Covering.In this embodiment, 3D-M arrays 170 contain four peripheral circuits, including X-decoder 15,15` and Y-decoder(Including Reading circuit)17th, 17`, mode processing circuit 180 are located between this four peripheral circuits.In fig. 5, due to 3D-M arrays 170 above substrate circuitry 0K, not in substrate circuitry 0K, are represented by dashed line its projection on substrate 0 herein.
In the present embodiment, mode processing circuit 180 is limited between four peripheral circuits, and its area is no more than The area of 3D-M arrays 170, therefore its area is smaller, function is limited.The embodiment is well suited to realize better simply mode treatment(Such as String matching and code matches).It is obvious that more complicated mode treatment(Such as speech recognition, image recognition)Need bigger Circuit, this needs vacates bigger Substrate Area under 3D-M arrays 170, so as to the layout of mode processing circuit 180.Fig. 5 B- Fig. 5 C, which disclose two kinds, has more large area and more powerful mode processing circuit 180.
Fig. 5 B embodiment corresponds to storage processing unit 100ij in Fig. 2 B.In this embodiment, a mode treatment electricity Road 180 is that four 3D-M arrays 170A-170D are serviced.Each 3D-M arrays(Such as 170A)Only two peripheral circuits(As X is decoded Device 15A and Y-decoder 17A).Below this four 3D-M arrays 170A-170D, substrate circuitry 0K can be formed with free surface jet One mode processing circuit 180.It is obvious that the mode processing circuit 180 in Fig. 5 B can be four times of Fig. 5 A big, it can realize compared with Complicated mode treatment function.
Fig. 5 C embodiment corresponds to storage processing unit 100ij in Fig. 2 C.In this embodiment, a mode treatment electricity Road 180 is that eight 3D-M arrays 170A-170D and 170W-170Z are serviced.This eight 3D-M arrays are divided into two groups of 150A, 150B. Every group(Such as 150A)Including four 3D-M arrays(Such as 170A-170D).In first group of 150A four 3D-M arrays 170A-170D Lower section, substrate circuitry can form first mode process circuit component A 180A with free surface jet.Similarly, in second group of 150B Four 3D-M arrays 170W-170Z below, substrate circuitry can also free surface jet, form second mode process circuit component B 180B.First mode process circuit component 180A and second mode process circuit component 180B forms mode processing circuit 180. In the present embodiment, between adjacent peripheral circuit(Between such as adjacent X-decoder 15A, 15C;In adjacent Y-decoder 17A, Between 17B;Between adjacent Y-decoder 17C, 17D)Leave gap(Such as G), to form wiring channel 190Xa, 190Ya, 190Yb, communicated for realizing between different mode process circuit component 150A, 150B or between different mode process circuit.Very Substantially, the mode processing circuit 180 in Fig. 5 C can be the octuple big of Fig. 5 A, and it can realize more complicated mode treatment function.
In some embodiments of the invention, mode processing circuit 180 only needs to complete partial mode processing function.Such as Say, mode processing circuit 180 only needs to complete simple mode processing(Such as the extraction and processing of simple feature).By the simple mode Pattern after processing screening will further be sent to more powerful external processor by output bus 120(Such as CPU, GPU)In it is complete Into final mode treatment.Because most of pattern in pattern base can be screened out by simple mode processing, the pattern of output only accounts for The fraction of pattern base, this can reduce the bandwidth pressure of output bus 120.
In distributed mode processor 200, storage processing unit 100ij can use both of which processing mode --- Class processor mode and class memory mode.For class processor mode, storage processing unit 100ij is for the external world just as one It is individual can with the search modes storehouse that it is carried, the processor of mode treatment is carried out to external user data.Particularly, storage is handled The unit 100ij memory scan database of 3D-M arrays 170;Storage processing unit 100ij input data 110 is user data (Including personal code work), these user data are generally caused in real time, such as network packet;Storage processing unit User data 110 and search modes storehouse are carried out pattern match or pattern-recognition by 100ij.At 3D-M arrays 170 and pattern There is big bandwidth connection 160, this mode treatment mode is stored in separation and deposited than traditional, search modes stock between reason device 180 The mode treatment mode efficiency high of reservoir.
For class memory mode, storage processing unit 100ij is for the external world as one is mainly used in storing number of users According to and can utilize carry mode processing circuit carry out mode treatment memory.Particularly, user data is stored in for a long time In the 3D-M arrays 170 for storing up processing unit 100ij;Storage processing unit 100ij input data 110 is search modes data; Search modes data 110 and its user data are carried out pattern match or pattern-recognition by storage processing unit 100ij.It is noted that Multiple distributed mode processor chips 200 using class memory mode can be packaged into storage card as flash chip (Such as SD card, TF card)And solid state hard disc, for storing the user data of magnanimity(Such as user data archives).Due to each distribution Each storage processing unit 100ij in schema processor chip 200 carries a mode processing circuit 180, this pattern Process circuit 180 only needs to handle the data that 3D-M arrays 170 store in storage processing unit 100ij.Therefore, no matter storage card Have with the capacity of solid state hard disc much, time of its mode treatment all handles coupled close to single-mode process circuit 180 3D-M arrays 170 in time of data for storing.This big advantage is unimaginable for conventional processors.
In class memory mode, storage processing unit 100ij is the final memory device of user data.This and tradition , processor containing in-line memory it is different:In-line memory only interim storage user data in conventional processors, The final memory device or external memory of user data(Such as hard disk, CD, tape).If user data stores for a long time In conventional processors, then the conventional processors are only capable of as these data, services, and can not be other data, services.Namely Say, a large number of users data need to use many processors.Because conventional processors are very expensive, this processing mode cost is excessively It is high.Compare therewith, in storage processing unit 100ij proposed by the present invention, mode processing circuit 180 is integrated in 3D-M arrays 170 lower sections, the peripheral circuit with 3D-M arrays(Such as decoder)Formed simultaneously.Because 3D-M will natively form peripheral circuit, And peripheral circuit only accounts for very little area on substrate 0(Referring to Fig. 5 A- Fig. 5 C), most of Substrate Area can be used for rock mechanism Process circuit 180, mode processing circuit 180 are free for 3D-M.Therefore, in distributed mode processor chips A large amount of approximate free mode processing circuits 180 can be formed on 200, each mode processing circuit 180 is specific data(Deposit Storage is in 3D-M arrays 170 coupled thereto)Service.
A simple introduction is done in the application with regard to distributed mode processor below.As an example, distributed mode processing Device 200 is an anti-Malware(anti-malware)Processor, it is mainly used in network security and computer antivirus.Network is pacified Class processor mode can be used entirely:The input data 110 of distributed mode processor 200 is network packet, 3D-M arrays 170 Network standard storehouse and virus identifications storehouse are stored, mode processing circuit 180 carries out pattern match to them.Computer antivirus can use Class processor mode and class memory mode:For class processor mode, the user data stored in computer is as input number Transmitted according to 110 to distributed mode processor 200,3D-M arrays 170 and store virus identifications storehouse, mode processing circuit 180 is to it Carry out pattern match;For class memory mode, virus identifications are sent to distributed mode processor as input data 110 200, user data is stored in 3D-M arrays 170, and mode processing circuit 180 carries out pattern match to them.In class processor In mode, 3D-M can be 3D-OTP or 3D-MTP, and it is used to store network standard storehouse and virus identifications storehouse.In class memory side In formula, 3D-M is preferably 3D-MTP, and it stores customer data base.
As another example, distributed mode processor 200 is analyzed available for big data(Such as finance data analysis, electricity Quotient data analysis, bioinformatics).Big data analysis is related to unstructured data or semi-structured data.It is traditional, using pass It is type database(relational database)Analysis method it is helpless to this.Distributed mode processor 200 can carry Tall and big data analysis capabilities.In order to improve efficiency, preferably with class memory mode:Big data is as archives storage in 3D-M battle arrays In row 170, the keyword for data analysis delivers to distributed mode processor 200 as input pattern data 110, at pattern Manage circuit 180 and pattern match is carried out to them.In big data analysis, 3D-M is preferably 3D-MTP, and it is used to store number of users According to.
Distributed mode processor 200 can be also used for speech recognition and/or image recognition., can be with identification process Using class processor mode and class memory mode.For class processor mode, voice/view data is as defeated caused by user Enter data 110 and deliver to distributed mode processor 200,3D-M arrays 170 store various identification model storehouses(As acoustic model repository, Language model storehouse, iconic model storehouse etc.), afterwards schema processor 180 be identified.To class memory mode, caused by user Voice/view data is as archives storage, it is necessary to which the speech signal or picture signal searched are as input in 3D-M arrays 170 Data 110 deliver to distributed mode processor 200, and mode processing circuit 180 is identified and searched afterwards.In class processor side In formula, 3D-M can be 3D-P, 3D-OTP or 3D-MTP, and it stores acoustic model repository, language model storehouse, iconic model storehouse etc.. In class memory mode, 3D-M is preferably 3D-MTP, its storaged voice/image file storehouse.
It should be appreciated that on the premise of not away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can be to the form and details of the present invention It is modified, this simultaneously applies the spirit of the present invention without prejudice to them.Therefore, except the spirit according to appended claims, The present invention should not be restricted by any restrictions.
