Operation method of linear processing element array
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001384B2) discloses an operation method for a processing element (PE) array, consisting of a linear arrangement of multiple PEs. The method involves a series of data transmission procedures among the PEs, where calculations are performed based on stored data and transmitted to other PEs in a specific order. The patent details the process of storing data in different orders within the PEs, incrementing and decrementing values for data transmission procedures, and the specific calculations carried out by each PE. Additionally, the patent describes the configuration of the PE array, including the processors, memories, and transmission circuits that facilitate the data exchange between adjacent PEs.
Furthermore, the patent extends the operation method to a more complex PE array configuration, involving multiple rows and columns of PEs. Each PE in this array comprises a processor, row memory, and column memory, enabling calculations based on stored data within the array. The transmission circuits within the array facilitate the exchange of data between adjacent PEs in both row and column directions. The patent also outlines the specific components of the transmission circuits, such as collectors, detectors, queues, and output selectors, which play a crucial role in managing the data flow within the array. Overall, the patent provides a detailed insight into the operation and configuration of PE arrays, offering a novel approach to data processing and transmission within such systems.
