Application: Histogram operation (Patent ID: US20240028338A1)
The patent filed by Texas Instruments Inc. describes a digital data processor that includes an instruction memory, an instruction decoder, and operational units to perform data processing operations and store results. The operational unit is configured to increment histogram values in response to a histogram instruction by incrementing a bin entry at a specified location in a specified number of histograms. The device comprises a processor core with a register to store indices and a memory to store table elements. The processor core receives instructions to perform arithmetic operations on table elements associated with indices, with options to increment by one or by weight values stored in another register.
The method outlined in the patent involves storing table elements in memory, storing indices in a register of a processor core, and receiving instructions to perform arithmetic operations on table elements based on the indices. The arithmetic operations can involve incrementing table elements by one or by weight values stored in a separate register. The instructions specify registers, table elements, and weight values, with options for different configurations such as specifying a base address, promotion mode, table size, saturation, sign, and element size. The memory used in the method can be a level one (L1) data cache memory.
