However, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the number of the operation chips and the number of the storage units may also be unequal, where the number of the second data interfaces of the storage units is the number of the operation chips, and the number of the second data interfaces of the operation chips is the number of the storage units. For example, the number of the operation chips is 4, the number of the storage units is 5, 5 second data interfaces are arranged on the operation chips, and 4 second data interfaces are arranged on the storage units.
The bus may be a centralized arbitration bus structure or a loop topology bus structure, which is well known in the art and therefore will not be described in detail herein.
Fig. 6 illustrates a data structure diagram according to the present invention. The data referred to herein is various data such as command data, numerical data, character data, and the like. The data format specifically includes valid bit, destination address dst id, source address src id, and data. The core can determine whether the packet is a command or a value by the valid bit, where it can be assumed that 0 represents a value and 1 represents a command. The kernel will determine the destination address, source address and data type based on the data structure. From the view of instruction operation timing, the present embodiment adopts a conventional six-level pipeline structure, which is respectively an instruction fetch stage, a decoding stage, an execution stage, an access stage, an alignment stage, and a write-back stage. From an instruction set architecture perspective, a reduced instruction set architecture may be assumed. According to the general design method of simplifying the instruction set framework, the utility model discloses the instruction set can divide into register-register type instruction, register-immediate instruction, jump instruction, access instruction, control command and internuclear communication instruction according to the function.
Using the description provided herein, an embodiment may be implemented as a machine, process, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce programming software, firmware, hardware or any combination thereof.
Any resulting program(s), having computer-readable program code, may be embodied on one or more computer-usable media such as resident memory devices, smart cards or other removable memory devices, or transmitting devices, thereby making a computer program product and article of manufacture according to an embodiment. As such, the terms "article of manufacture" and "computer program product" as used herein are intended to encompass a computer program that exists permanently or temporarily on any non-transitory medium with which a computer can use.
As noted above, memory/storage devices include, but are not limited to, magnetic disks, optical disks, removable storage devices such as smart cards, Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs), Wireless Identification Modules (WIMs), semiconductor memory such as Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), and the like. Transmission media includes, but is not limited to, transmissions via wireless communication networks, the internet, intranets, telephone/modem-based network communications, hard-wired/cabled communication network, satellite communications, and other fixed or mobile network systems/communication links.
