The present invention relates to optimization of hardware used in data processing.
Data processing requires the optimization of the available resources, as well as the power consumption of the circuits involved in data processing. This is the case in particular when reconfigurable processors are used.
Reconfigurable architecture includes modules (VPU) having a configurable function and/or interconnection, in particular integrated modules having a plurality of unidimensionally or multidimensionally positioned arithmetic and/or logic and/or analog and/or storage and/or internally/externally interconnecting modules, which are connected to one another either directly or via a bus system.
These generic modules include in particular systolic arrays, neural networks, multiprocessor systems, processors having a plurality of arithmetic units and/or logic cells and/or communication/peripheral cells (IO), interconnecting and networking modules such as crossbar switches, as well as known modules of the type FPGA, DPGA, Chameleon, XPUTER, etc. Reference is also made in particular in this context to the following patents and patent applications of the same applicant:

The entire contents of these documents are hereby included for the purpose of disclosure. The above-mentioned architecture is used as an example to illustrate the present invention and is referred to hereinafter as VPU. The architecture includes an arbitrary number of arithmetic, logic (including memory) and/or memory cells and/or networking cells and/or communication/peripheral (IO) cells (PAEs—Processing Array Elements) which may be positioned to form a unidimensional or multidimensional matrix (PA); the matrix may have different cells of any desired configuration. Bus systems are also understood here as cells. A configuration unit (CT) which affects the interconnection and function of the PA through configuration is assigned to the entire matrix or parts thereof. The configuration of a VPU is determined by writing configuration words into configuration registers. Each configuration word determines a subfunction. PAEs may require a plurality of configuration words for their configuration, e.g., one/or more words for the interconnection of the PAE, one/or more words for the clock determination and one/or more words for the selection of an ALU function, etc.
Generally, a processor which is operated at a higher clock frequency requires more power. Thus, the cooling requirements in modern processors increase substantially as the clock frequency increases. Moreover, additional power must be supplied which is critical in mobile applications in particular.
To determine the clock frequency for a microprocessor based on the state is known. Such technologies are known from the area of mobile computers. However, problems arise in the overall speed with which certain applications are carried out.
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for commercial application.
In an example embodiment of the present invention, the power consumption may be reduced and/or optimized in VPU technology. As far as different methods are addressed in the following, it should be pointed out that they provide advantages, either individually or in combination.
In a data processing unit (VPU) according to a first aspect of the present invention, by using a field of clocked logic cells (PAEs) which is operable in different configuration states and a clock preselecting means for preselecting logic cell clocking, the clock preselecting means is designed in such a way that, depending on the state, a first clock is preselected at least at a first cell (PAE) and an additional clock is preselected at least at an additional cell (PAE).
It is therefore suggested to operate different cells using different clocking. As a rule, the additional clock corresponds to the first clock; the former is thus situated in a defined phase angle to the latter. In order to achieve optimum data processing results, in particular with regard to the required data processing time, as well as the power consumption of the entire data processing unit, it is suggested that clocking takes place depending on the state, which means that no clock is preselected jointly for all cells based on a certain state, but rather an appropriate clock is assigned to each cell based on the state.
Furthermore, it is suggested that the clocking be designed to be totally configurable, so that one calibration (configuration) mutually influences the clocking of the total number of cells.
It is possible and desired that the clock preselecting means is designed in such a way that it receives the setpoint clock for at least one first cell from a unit which preselects configuration states. This makes it possible to select the clocking of the cell based on its configuration as soon as this configuration is determined. This has the advantage that configuration may take place free of problems.
The unit preselecting configuration states may be a compiling unit, which means that required or desired clocking of the cell is already determined during the compiling of the program. If the compiling unit preselects the configuration states, then the cell configuration preselecting unit may convey clocking for cell configuration to a cell to be configured. This is advantageous since it is possible to merely add clock-determining information to the configuration word or the configuration instruction with which the configuration of a cell is determined, without additional measures being required such as the implementation of clock-assigning buses which separately transmit the clock-determining signals, or the like; it should be noted that this is possible in principle.
It may also be provided that the clock preselecting means is designed in such a way that it receives the setpoint clock or a clock-influencing signal from one of the other logic cells, in particular a configurable logic cell. This is particularly advantageous if a first logic cell awaits an input signal from an external unit and not until arrival of such signals are the cells to be activated which process subsequently arriving signals. This makes it possible to implement a logic field sleeping mode in which only one or a plurality of cells are activated, if necessary, on a very low level, i.e., very slow clocking, and the remaining field is clocked extremely slowly. The clock frequencies required in the remaining field are dependent on physically necessary clocking which is required for the preservation of memory contents or the like.
It is also advantageous to receive a clock-influencing signal from another logic cell if, using one logic cell, one or a series of a plurality of different arithmetic and/or logical operations may be executed which, at least in part, require a different number of clock cycles, but this may not be determined in advance by the compiling unit. Also in such a case, the subsequent cells do not need to be operated at a high clock frequency if they are appropriately clocked down by corresponding signals which indicate the state of the cell participating in a processing sequence.
In a preferred variant, the clock preselecting means includes a central clock preselecting unit, e.g., a central clock generator, whose clock is transmitted to the individual cells via a clock line, as well as a local clock-generating unit for generating a local clock from and/or in response to the central clock transmitted via the clock line. In a possible embodiment, clocking of the central clock preselecting unit may be set or influenced by a configuration. The local clock-generating unit is preferably implemented by using a frequency divider and/or a frequency multiplier, and the frequency divider ratio is preferably determined by the preselections of the clock preselecting means according to the clock determination based on the state.
In a preferred variant, the logic cells or at least some of the logic cells include at least one ALU and/or are formed by such. It is possible and preferred if some of the logic cells contain at least one memory unit and/or register unit which may be assigned to the remaining logic cells. In particular, this unit may be provided for data to be processed and/or for configurations of the cell.
It is possible that a plurality of logic cells are identical and are operated using different clocking corresponding to their particular configuration. It is possible in particular that all logic cells are identical.
A method is also provided for operating a field of clocked logic cells which may be set into different configuration states, a first state being determined, at least temporarily, for at least one first cell, a clock which is to be assigned to the first cell being determined dependent on the first state and the cell being operated using this clock; a second state is determined for at least one additional cell, a second clock which is to be assigned to the second cell being determined dependent on the second state and the second cell being operated using the second clock which differs from the first clock.
As mentioned above, clocking may be preselected together with the configuration. The state is then the configuration state and/or is at least determined by it.
In known and configurable logic cells, cells are typically combined in groups for executing complex operations. If individual cells execute suboperations which run in fewer clock cycles as is the case with those cells which are [engaged] in particularly drawn-out suboperations of the complex total operations executed by the group, it is preferred if these cells are operated at different clock rates, namely in such a way that the cells for less complex operations, thus operations which run in fewer clock cycles, are clocked slower than the other cells; it is preferred in particular if the cells of one group are clocked collectively in such a way that the number of blank cycles within the group is minimized. An alternative and/or an addition to this lies in the fact of temporarily changing the use of cells burdened with less complex tasks for a certain number of clock cycles, thus changing the use during a fixed number of clock cycles.
In particular, the case may occur that the maximum clock cycle rate of PAEs and/or PAE groups is limited by their function and in particular by their interconnection. The propagation time of signals via bus systems plays an increasingly frequency-limiting role, in particular in advancing semiconductor technology. Henceforth, the method allows slower clocking of such PAEs and/or PAE groups, while other PAEs and/or PAE groups operate at a different and, if needed, higher frequency. It is suggested in a simplified embodiment to make the clock rate of the entire reconfigurable module (VPU) dependent on the maximum clock rate of the slowest PAE and/or PAE group. In other words, the central clock preselecting unit may be configured in such a way that the highest mutual operating clock of all PAEs and/or PAE groups (in other words the smallest common denominator of all maximum clock rates) is globally generated for all PAEs.
The above-described method is particularly advantageous if the cells of the group process data sequentially, i.e., the result determined by one cell is passed on to one or multiple cells which are subsequently processing data.
It should be noted that in addition to prioritizing tasks within the cell field for clock preselection, the condition of a power source may also be included in cell clocking determination. Clocking may be reduced overall in the case of a drop in supply voltage, in particular in mobile applications. Clocking-down for preventing an overtemperature by responding to a temperature sensor signal or the like is equally possible. It is also possible for the user to preset the clock preselection. Different parameters may jointly establish the clock-determining state.
It was mentioned above that it is possible to perform time division multiplexing for carrying out multiple configurations on the same PAE. A preferred and enhanced design makes particularly resource-saving time division multiplexing for carrying out multiple configurations on the same PAE possible; the design may have advantages independently from the different clocking of individual cells, e.g., when latencies have to be taken into account which occur in the signal transmission of digital data via a bus, such as configuration data, data to be processed, or the like. These problems are particularly serious when reconfigurable modules, having reconfigurable units which are located in part comparatively far apart from one another, are to be operated at high clock frequencies. The problem arises here that due to the special configuration of VPUs, a plurality of arbitrary PAEs is connected via buses and considerable data transmission traffic exists via the buses. The switching frequency of transistors is expected to further increase in modern and above all in future silicon technologies, while the signal transmission via buses is to increasingly become a performance-limiting factor. It is therefore suggested to decouple the data rate or frequency on the buses vis-a-vis the operating frequency of the data-processing PAEs.
A particularly simple embodiment, preferred for simple implementations, operates in such a way that the clock rate of a VPU is only globally settable. In other words, a settable clock may be preselected for all PAEs or it may be configured by a higher-level configuration unit (CT). All parameters which have an effect on clocking determine this one global clock. Such parameters may be, for example, a temperature determination, a power reserve measurement of batteries, etc.
A determining parameter may be in particular the maximum operating frequency of the slowest configuration which results as a function of a PAE configuration or a configuration of a group of PAEs. Since different configurations may include different numbers of PAEs over stretches of bus connections of different lengths, it was realized, in particular in bus signal transmission-limiting applications, that configurations may have different maximum frequencies. Configurations may have different maximum frequencies, as is known from FPGAs, for example, which depend on the particular function of the PAEs and in particular on the lengths of bus connections. The slowest configuration then ensures that the proper operation of this configuration is also ensured, and simultaneously reduces the power demand of all other configurations which is advantageous in particular when different portions of the data processing such as through the other configurations, which would possibly run at higher clock frequencies, are not needed prior to the slowest configuration. Also in cases where it must be absolutely ensured that proper operation takes place, the possibly only negligible performance loss occurring by clocking-down other configurations, which could run faster per se, is often acceptable.
In an optimized embodiment, the frequency is adapted only to the configurations which are currently carried out on a VPU, in other words, the global frequency may be reset/reconfigured with each configuration.
In an enhanced embodiment, the clock may then be configured globally, as well as, as described above, individually for each configurable element.
It should be noted that different variants are possible, individually or in combination. In order to show a detailed example, it is assumed in the following, without this necessarily being the case, that the clock may be controlled individually in each PAE. This offers the following possibilities, for example:
It is preferred that the processing clock of PAEs is disabled, i.e., the PAEs operate only in case of need; clock enabling, i.e., activating the PAE, may take place, for example, under at least one of the following conditions, namely
when valid data is present; when the result of the previous computation is approved; due to one or more trigger signals; due to an expected or valid timing mark, compare DE 101 10 530.4 (PACT18).
In order to cause clock enabling, each individual condition may be used either individually or in combination with other conditions, clock enabling being computed based on the logical combination of conditions. It should be noted that it is possible to put the PAEs into a power-saving operating mode while a clock is disabled, for example, through additionally partly switched-off or reduced power supply, or, should it be necessary because of other reasons, through extremely reduced sleeping clocks.
Technologies for controlling sequences in VPUs are known from PCT/DE 97/02949 (PACT02/PCT), PCT/DE 97/02998 (PACT04/PCT), and PCT/DE 00/01869 (PACT13/PCT). Special sequencers (SWTs) which control a large number of PAEs and which are responsible for their (re)configuration are configured in PCT/DE 97/02998 (PACT04/PCT). The (re)configuration is controlled by using status signals which are generated by the PAEs (triggers) and passed on to the SWTs, namely in that the SWT responds to the triggers, making the particular continuation of a sequence dependent on the triggers.
A small memory for their configuration is assigned to each individual PAE in PCT/DE 97/02949 (PACT02/PCT). A sequencer passes through the memory and addresses the individual configurations. The sequencer is controlled by triggers and/or by the status of its PAE (into which it may be integrated, for example).
During data processing, it is now possible that different sequencers in different PAEs have to carry out a different number of operations per transmitted data packet (compare DE 101 39 170.6 (PACT11), DE 101 42 903.7 (PACT11a), DE 101 44 732.9 (PACT11b), DE 101 45 792.8 (PACT11c), DE 101 54 260.7 (PACT11d), DE 102 07 225.6 (PACT11e), PCT/DE 00/01869 (PACT13/PCT)). This is described using a configuration as an example in which 3 sequencers are involved in processing a data packet, requiring a different number of operations for data packet processing. Example:
In order to obtain an optimum operation/power consumption ratio, the individual sequencers would have to be clocked as follows:
or at a maximum operating frequency of, for example,
It is suggested in particular to use different clock sources for each PAE and/or group of PAEs. For example, different techniques may be used for this purpose, either individually or jointly:
1) Clock dividers, individually programmable per PAE, which enable an individually configurable divider ratio based on one or more mutual base clocks.
2) Clock multipliers (PLLs), individually programmable per PAE, which enable an individually configurable divider ratio based on one or more mutual base clocks.
3) Deriving the particular PAE clock from the data stream of the particular data to be processed, e.g., by oversampling.
An exemplary embodiment having different algorithms is illustrated in
Optimization of the power consumption is also favored in that the circuit components, necessary for executing a configuration, are clocked selectively, i.e., it is suggested to clock each PAE addressed and/or to completely disable the clock of those circuit components necessary for executing a configuration or a reconfiguration when no configuration or reconfiguration is being executed and/or to use static registers.
In particular example embodiments, the operating frequency of the PAEs or groups of PAEs may be made dependent on different and/or additional factors. The following is listed below as an example:
If the operating temperature reaches certain threshold values, the operating clock is reduced correspondingly. The reduction may take place selectively by initially operating those PAEs on a lower clock which represent the most irrelevant performance loss.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, multiple temperature measurements may be performed in different regions and clocking may be adapted locally.
IO-FIFOs (input-output-first-in-first-out-circuits) which decouple peripheral data transmissions from data processing within a VPU are described in DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT15a), (PACT15b). One buffer for input data (input buffer) and/or one buffer for output data (output buffer) may be implemented, for example. A particularly efficient variable for determining the clock frequency may, for example, be determined from the filling level of the particular data buffers. The following effects and measures may occur, for example:
a) An input buffer is largely full and/or the filling level rises abruptly: Clocking increase to accelerate processing.
b) An input buffer is largely empty and/or the filling level drops abruptly: Clocking decrease to decelerate processing.
c) An output buffer is largely full and/or the filling level rises abruptly: Clocking decrease to decelerate processing.
d) An output buffer is largely empty and/or the filling level drops abruptly: Clocking increase to accelerate processing.
Depending on the application and the system, suitable combinations may be implemented accordingly.
It should be pointed out that such a clock frequency determination is implementable if a filling level determination means for a buffer, in particular an input and/or output buffer, alternatively also an intermediate buffer within a VPU array, is provided and if this filling level determination means is connected to a clock preselecting means for preselecting logic cell clocking so that this clock preselecting means is able to change the logic cell clocking in response to the buffer filling level.
It is imperative to be careful with the power supply, e.g., a battery, for mobile units. Depending on the power reserve, which may be determined based on the existing methods according to the related art, the frequency of PAEs and/or groups of PAEs is determined and is reduced in particular when the power reserve is low.
Besides or in addition to optimizing data processing clocking it is also possible to accomplish an optimization of the data transmission with respect to the relationship between data transmission and data processing.
In a particular embodiment, the clock controls of PAEs described may be enhanced in such a way that, by using a sequencer-like activation and a suitable register set, for example, multiple, preferably different, configuration words may be executed successively in multiple clocks. A sequencer, sequentially processing a number of configuration inputs, may be additionally assigned to the configuration registers and/or to a configuration memory which is possibly also decoupled and implemented separately (compare DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT15a, PACT15b). The sequencer may be designed as a microcontroller. In particular, the sequencer may be programmable/configurable in its function such as Altera's module EPS448 (ALTERA Data Book 1993). Possible embodiments of such PAEs are described, for example, in the following patent applications which are included in their entirety for the purpose of disclosure: PCT/DE 97/02949 (PACT02/PCT), PCT/DE 97/02998 (PACT04/PCT), PCT/DE 00/01869 (PACT13/PCT), DE 101 10 530.4 (PACT18), DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT15a, PACT 15b).
For the following, it is initially assumed that multiple configuration words are combined into one configuration (PACKEDCONF) and are configured on a PAE. The PACKEDCONF is processed in such a way that the individual configuration words are executed in chronological succession. The data exchange and/or status exchange between the individual timed configurations takes place via a suitable data feedback in the PAEs; for example by using a suitable register set and/or another data exchange and/or status/exchange means such as suitable memories and the like.
This method allows a different timing for PAEs and bus systems. While PAEs process data at very high clock rates, for example, operands and/or results are transmitted via a bus at only a fraction of the clock rate of the PAEs. The transmission time via a bus may be correspondingly longer.
It is preferred if not only the PAEs or other logic units in a configurable and/or reconfigurable module are clockable at a different rate, but also if different clocking is provided for parts of a bus system. It is possible here to provide multiple buses in parallel whose speed is clocked differently, i.e., a bus which is clocked particularly high for providing a high-performance connection, parallel to a bus which is clocked lower for providing a power-saving connection. The connection clocked high may be used when longer signal paths have to be compensated, or when PAEs, positioned close together, operate at a high frequency and therefore also have to exchange data at a high frequency in order to provide a good transmission here over short distances in which the latency plays a minor role at best. Therefore, it is suggested in a possible embodiment that a number of PAEs, positioned together locally and combined in a group, operate at a high frequency and possibly also sequentially and that local and correspondingly short bus systems are clocked high corresponding to the data processing rate of the group, while the bus systems, inputting the operands and outputting the results, have slower clock and data transmission rates. For the purpose of optimizing the power consumption, it would be alternatively possible to implement slow clocking and to supply data at a high speed, e.g., when a large quantity of inflowing data may be processed with only a minor operational effort, thus at low clock rates.
In addition to the possibility of providing bus systems which are clocked using different frequencies it is also possible to provide multiple bus systems which are operable independently from one another and to then apply the PAEs in a multiplex-like manner as required. This alone makes it possible to operate reconfigurable modules particularly efficiently in resource multiplexing, independently from the still existing possibility of differently clocking different bus systems or different bus system parts. It is possible here to assign different configurations to different resources according to different multiplexing methods.
According to PCT/DE 00/01869 (PACT13/PCT), a group of PAEs may be designed as a processor in particular.
In the following embodiments, for example, different configurations are assigned to data-processing PAEs using time-division multiplexing, while bus systems are assigned to the different configurations using space-division multiplexing.
In the assignment of resources, i.e., the assignment of tasks to PAEs or a group of PAEs to be carried out by the compiler or a similar unit, the given field may then be considered as a field of the n-fold variable and code sections may be transferred to this field of resources, which is virtually scaled up by the factor n, without the occurrence of problems, particularly when code sections are transferred in such a way that no interdependent code sections have to be configured into a PAE which is used in a multiplex-like manner.
In the previous approach, a PACKEDCONF was composed of at least one configuration word or a bundle of configuration words for PAEs which belong to one single application. In other words, only configuration words which belong together were combined in the PACKEDCONF.
In an enhanced embodiment, at least one or more configuration words per each different configuration are entered into a PACKEDCONF in such a way that the configuration word or words which belong together in a configuration are combined in a configuration group and the configuration groups thus created are combined in the PACKEDCONF.
The individual configuration groups may be executed in chronological succession, thus in time-division multiplexing by a timeslice-like assignment. This results in time division multiplexing of different configuration groups on one PAE. As described above, the configuration word or the configuration words within a configuration group may also be executed in chronological succession.
Multiplexers which select one of the configuration groups are assigned to the configuration registers and/or to a configuration memory, which is possibly also decoupled and implemented separately (compare DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT15a, PACT 15b)). In an enhanced embodiment, a sequencer (as described above) may be additionally assigned which makes the sequential processing of configuration words within configuration groups possible.
Using the multiplexers and the optional sequencer, a resource (PAE) may be assigned to multiple different configurations in a time-division multiplex method.
Among one another, different resources may synchronize the particular configuration group to be applied, for example by transmitting a configuration group number or a pointer.
The execution of the configuration groups may take place linearly in succession and/or cyclically, with a priority being observed. It should be noted here in particular that different sequences may be processed in a single processor element and that different bus systems may be provided at the same time so that no time is wasted in establishing a bus connection which may take some time due to the long transmission paths. If a PAE assigns its first configuration to a first bus system and, on execution of the first configuration, couples the same to the bus system, then it may, in a second configuration, couple a different or partially different bus system to the former if spacial multiplexing for the bus system is possible.
The execution of a configuration group, each configuration group being composed of one or more configuration words, may be made dependent on the reception of an execution release via data and/or triggers and/or an execution release condition.
If the execute release (condition) for a configuration group is not given, the execute release (condition) may either be awaited, or the execution of a subsequent configuration group may be continued. The PAEs preferably go into a power-saving operating mode during the wait for an execute release (condition), for example with a disabled clock (gated clock) and/or partially disabled or reduced power supply. If a configuration group cannot be activated, then, as mentioned above, the PAEs preferably also go into a power-saving mode.
The storage of the PACKEDCONF may take place by using a ring-type memory or other memory or register means, the use of a ring-type memory resulting in the fact that after the execution of the last input, the execution of the first input may be started again (compare PCT/DE 97/02998 (PACT04/PCT)). It should be noted that it is also possible to skip to a particular execution directly and/or indirectly and/or conditionally within the PACKEDCONF and/or a configuration group.
In a preferred method, PAEs may be designed for processing of configurations in a corresponding time-division multiplexing method. The number of bus systems between the PAEs is increased such that sufficient resources are available for a sufficient number of configuration groups. In other words, the data-processing PAEs operate in a time-division multiplex method, while the data-transmitting and/or data-storing resources are adequately available.
This represents a type of space division multiplexing, a first bus system being assigned to a first temporarily processed configuration, and a second bus system being assigned to an additional configuration; the second bus system runs or is routed spatially separated from the first bus system.
It is possible at the same time and/or alternatively that the bus systems are also entirely or partially operated in time-division multiplexing and that multiple configuration groups share one bus system. It may be provided here that each configuration group transmits its data as a data packet, for example, a configuration group ID being assigned to the data packet (compare APID in DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT 15a, PACT 15b)). Subsequently it may be provided to store and sort the particular data packets transmitted based on their assigned identification data, namely between different buses if required and for coordinating the IDs.
In an enhanced method, memory sources may also be run in a time-division multiplex, e.g., by implementing multiple segments and/or, at a change of the configuration group, by writing the particular memory/memories as described in PCT/DE 97/02998 (PACT04/PCT) and/or PCT/DE 00/01869 (PACT13/PCT) into a different or even external memory or by loading from the same. In particular the methods as described in DE 102 06 653.1 (PACT15), DE 102 07 224.8 (PACT15a, PACT 15b) may be used (e.g., MMU paging and/or APID).
The adaptation of the operating voltage to the clock should be noted as a further possibility for conserving resources.
Semiconductor processes typically allow higher clock frequencies when they are operated at higher operating voltages. However, this causes substantially higher power consumption and may also reduce the service life of a semiconductor.
An optimum compromise may be achieved in that the voltage supply is made dependent on the clock frequency. Low clock frequencies may be operated at a low supply voltage, for example. With increasing clock frequencies, the supply voltage is also increased (preferably up to a defined maximum).
The present invention, as an example, is explained in greater detail below with reference to the Figures. It should be noted that this exemplary description is not limiting and that in isolated cases and in different figures identical or similar units may be denoted using different reference numbers.

Furthermore, a multiplexer 0213 for selecting different configurations and/or configuration groups may optionally be integrated dependent on 0212. Furthermore, the multiplexer may optionally be activated by a sequencer 0214 in order to make sequential data processing possible. In particular, intermediate results may be managed in data memory 0207.
While the general configuration of the cell was described in part in the applicant's applications described above, the presently described clock dividing system, the associated circuit, and the optimization of its operation are at least novel and it should be pointed out that these facts may and shall be associated with the required hardware changes.
The entire system and in particular configuration unit 0103 is designed in such a way that, together with a configuring signal with which a configuration word is fed via configuration line 0103 a via configuration word extractor 0209 to data processing unit 0206 or upstream and/or downstream and/or associated memory 0208, a clock dividing/multiplying signal may also be transmitted which is extracted by configuration word extractor 0209 and transmitted to frequency divider/multiplier 0210, so that, as a response, 0210 may clock data processing unit 0206 and possibly also other units. It should be pointed out that, as a response to an input signal to the cell, there are also other possibilities instead of unit 0209 to vary clocking of an individual data processing unit 0206 with reference to a central clock unit 0104, via data bus monitoring circuit 0212, for example.
Described only as an example with reference to
For example, a 3×3 field of reconfigurable cells is configured in such a way, according to
If the processor unit having the separately clockable reconfigurable logic cells is operated in an application where the voltage may drop, e.g., due to exhausting voltage supply capacities, it may be provided that, at a drop in the supply voltage, the entire frequency is reduced to a critical value U1; all cells are subsequently clocked slower by one half so that division cell 0102 h too runs only at 128 MHz, while cell 0102 d is clocked at 4 MHz. Cell 0102 a, executing a query of the mouse pointer having a lower priority, is no longer clocked at 8 MHz as previously but rather at 2 MHz, i.e., depending on the prioritization, different slowdowns according to the importance of the task are assigned to the respective groups at a voltage drop or under other circumstances.
If, for other reasons, the temperature still rises, the heat generation in the logic cell field may be further reduced by an additional clock rate reduction for the logic cells, as is indicated in the last row of
This makes it possible to optimally operate a processor field energy-efficiently; the cooling capacity required is reduced and it is clear that, since as a rule not all cells may and/or must be permanently operated at the highest clock frequency, heat sinks and the like may be dimensioned appropriately smaller which in turn offers additional cost advantages.
It should be noted that in addition to the query regarding a supply voltage, a temperature, the prioritization of computations, and the like, other conditions may determine the clock. For example, a hardware switch or a software switch may be provided with which the user indicates that only low clocking or higher clocking is desired. This makes an even more economical and targeted handling of the available power possible. It may be provided in particular that, at the user's request or at an external request, the central clock rate in total may be reduced; the clock divider ratios within the cell array, however, are not changed in order to avoid the requirement of reconfiguring all cells, e.g., at an extreme temperature rise. Moreover, it should be pointed out that a hysteresis characteristic may be provided in determining the clock rates, when a temperature-sensitive change of the clock frequencies is to be performed, for example.
The data transmission occurring on data bus 0205 a/b is illustrated in
In order to execute op1, operands ia must be available via 0205 a (0601); the data transmissions for the remaining cycles may be undefined in principle.
Thereafter, 0205 a may preferably transmit the subsequent operands (0602) for which the execution time of op2, op3, op4, op5 is available, thus creating a temporal decoupling, allowing the use of slower and/or, in particular, longer bus systems.
During the execution of op2, op3, op4, op5, data of other configurations may alternatively (0603) be transmitted via the same bus system 0205 a using a time-division multiplex method.
Following op5, result oa is applied to bus 0205 b (0601); the data transmissions for the remaining cycles may be undefined in principle.
The time prior to op5, i.e., during the execution of op1, op2, op3, op4, may be used for transmitting the previous result (0602). This again creates a temporal decoupling, allowing the use of slower and/or, in particular, longer bus systems.
During the execution of op1, op2, op3, op4, data of other configurations may alternatively (0603) be transmitted via the same bus system 0205 b using a time-division multiplex method. For clock multiplication, 0210 may use a PLL. A PLL may be used in particular in such a way that the operating clock of the PAE for executing op1, op2, op3, op4, op5 is five times that of the bus clock. In this case, the PAE may act as a PAE without a sequencer having only one (unicyclical) configuration and the same clock as the bus clock.
In addition, a possible bus transmission using a time-division multiplex for the bus systems is illustrated in 0704. The input data of all groups is transmitted via an input bus system and the output data of all groups is transmitted via an output bus system. The undefined intermediate cycles are either unused or are free for other data transmissions.

Shoe looks more comfortable than it actually is. Sole is pretty hard under the ball of your foot, not very cushioned by the insole.
Good comfortable shoe. Soles squeak a little on polished floors. European size 43 for 9 to 9.5 could probably fit a 10.

Last week, Apple posted a $2.6 million bond in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to ban the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet from being sold in the United States. As soon as Apple got their preliminary injunction and posted their bond, Samsung filed their appeal for a stay of the injunction. Judge Lucy Koh, the same judge who has decided many of the recent lawsuits, will hear arguments sometime soon.
Apple and Samsung are the world's two biggest makers of high-end phones including the Apple iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus. They've been accusing each other of copying designs and technology for mobile devices and are locked in patent battles all over the world. What's at stake are profits from the $119 billion global tablet market.

|11-Year Old Dead, His Mother Hospitalized
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 09 June 2013 05:20
A family vacation in Boone ended tragically with an 11-year old Rock Hill South Carolina boy dead, his mother in critical condition as the two were found in a room at the Boone Best Western Hotel on East King Street—the same room where an elderly couple died in April.
The boy has been identified as Jeffrey Lee Williams. His mother, Jeannie Williams, remains in the hospital as of Sunday evening.
Boone Police say their investigation is still underway, trying to determine what killed the young boy and injured his mother, who was rushed to Watauga Medical Center just after noon yesterday. Police and Fire were called at about 12:30 to a report of two people in distress in a medical emergency, and there found the boy dead, his mother rushed from the scene, and emergency units remained on the scene well into the night as guests found themselves unable to return to some areas of the hotel.
Boone Police late last night said they have been unable to definitively connect the death from yesterday to two who died in the same room on April 16th. In that, it appeared the man had a health issue and that his wife died trying to revive him, but that conclusion may be reexamined in light of the most recent incident. Authorities have also said they have determined there is no danger to the general public.

Hulu is a company that has aggressively expanded the number of options that they make available to their users that have aggressively expanded the number of payment options that they make available to their users. Now the company is considering making an ad free options available to their users in addition to the standard and plus plans that they currently have available. The company announced today that they were considering a third subscription option that would allow for users to utilize the service without having to deal with the advertisements that are normally associated with streaming their movies and television content. Their regular Hulu service allows for them to stream their movie and television content without first having to pay for anything. During the same amount of time they have been able to put together a plus plan, titled Hulu Plus that allows for users to pay for the ability to stream a larger amount of content that is only made available to those that are willing to pay. It is currently clear that Hulu has continued to update their system to make it as user-friendly as possible and to put together as good of a selection of content as they possibly can.
A representative for Hulu said today that they were looking to get rid of the ad supported section of their system for some users that were willing to pay a higher price amount to stream the content. A representative for the company made the announcement on the official twitter account of the company. It will be interesting to see how quickly they are able to launch the new service, after watching the Hulu Plus service which is currently at the price point of $7.99.it will be interesting to see how popular the ad free subscription service is amongst the users that currently use the service.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phone such as unlocked Motorola Atrix, HTC Inspire, etc..

The Road So Far
At 26-13, the Jays have won their last two games and sit in fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference at 9-6. On Wednesday night the Bluejays downed South Dakota State, 7-1, behind a dominant performacne from freshman Matt Warren.
Creighton heads to Kansas for another critical MVC series with Wichita State. The Shockers are atop the MVC at 14-4, but hold just a 133 rpi ranking.
The Road Ahead
The Bluejays close the regular season next week with a bang as Creighton hosts Nebraska on Tuesday, May 14 and welcomes in Missouri State for the Bluejays final MVC series in Creighton history.
Jays vs. Wichita State
Wichita State leads the overall sereis with Creighton, 112-45-1. Under coach Servais the Bluejays are 14-23 against Wichita State. Last season, the Shockers took two of the three meetings between the two squads. The last time the Jays won a series in Wichita was in 2003.
Scouting the Shockers (30-22, 14-4 Summit)
Coming off a weekend series sweep of rival, Missouri State, the Shockers dropped a midweek battle with Kansas on Tuesday, 7-5. Wichita State has won seven of its last 10 games and currently hold the tiebreaker over Illinois State at the top of the MVC standings.
Offensively the Shockers are hitting .287 as a team, led by junior Garrett Bayliff (.355) and sophomores Tyler Baker (.331) as well as Casey Gillaspie (.307). Baker leads WSU with 36 RBI on the season, while Gillaspie boasts a team-high 41 runs scored. Wichita State has plated 293 runs in 52 games (5.6 runs per game).
On the mound the Shockers lean on ace Cale Elam as well as a strong bullpen. Elam is 5-2 with a 2.26 ERA. He has a team-high 59 strikeouts on the
season. In the pen the Shockers have called upon Aaron LaBrie and Brandon Peterson 20 and 21 times respectively. LaBrie is 3-1 with a 1.03 ERA in 43.2 innings, while Peterson has a 1.41 ERA and a 2-1 mark in 32 innings.
Defensive is one area the Shockers are not as strong, committing 52 errors (an average of one per game).
Bluejay Acorns
Unchartered Territory
Freshman Matt Warren's 7.2 inning performance on Tuesday, May 8th was the longest midweek outing by a starter since head coach Ed Servais took over the Creighton program in 2004.

HERRINGS If the unofficial count holds true, the village will have a completely new board in the new year. No candidates were named in the Nov. 5 elections, but 35 write-in ballots were submitted.
Write-in and absentee ballots were examined by the Jefferson County Board of Elections.
The unofficial results have Christal L. Loeffler with 29 votes ousting Richard A. Beirman, who had 14 votes in the mayoral race. The unofficial vote for two trustee seats had James D. Camidge with 27, David M. Arnold with 24 and Ellen Hartle and Marilyn G. Shaw with 13 each.
Woo hoo awesome, was Mrs. Loefflers response upon hearing the news. People wanted a change. Thats why I was elected.
The mayor-elect said she plans to serve the full two-year term despite rumors to the contrary.
I want to move forward with the water project and move ahead with the cleanup of the Crown Cleaner property, Mrs. Loeffler said. She said one of her first moves will be to take a pay cut, since she claims the current board gave itself a pay raise in tough economic times.
I really dont care either way, Mr. Beirman said. I wanted to take time for my family following my brothers death, but some villagers asked me to run. I just want to make sure the water project doesnt stop.
He also noted the board recently split billing for water and sewer to make it easier for low-income residents to pay.
I hope that doesnt change, Mr. Beirman said.
Mr. Camidge and Mr. Arnold are no strangers to village politics. Mr. Beirman became interim mayor in January 2011 after Mr. Arnold resigned, citing health issues.
Mr. Beirman then was elected to a two-year term as mayor in November 2011. Mr. Camidge resigned as trustee the same day as Mr. Arnold.

Your treatment for vaginal cancer depends on the results of your lab tests, how close the cancer is to other important organs, such as your bladder or rectum, and the extent of the disease, called the stage. Your doctor may also consider your age and general health when making recommendations about treatment. If childbearing is an issue for you, your cancer care team may consider this, too.
It's natural to want to learn all you can about vaginal cancer and your treatment choices. You probably have many questions and concerns. Your doctor is the best person to answer your questions about your treatment, how successful you can expect it to be, and what the risks and side effects may be.
Treatment for vaginal cancer is either local or systemic. Local treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, remove, destroy, or control the cancer cells in one certain area. The goal of systemic treatments is to kill or control cancer cells throughout your whole body. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment. These are the three main treatments used for vaginal cancer:
Each type of treatment for vaginal cancer has a different goal. You may have more than one type of treatment, although most patients diagnosed with vaginal cancer are treated with radiation therapy. Your doctors will take your individual situation into consideration when making treatment recommendations. Here is a list of the main treatments and their typical goals:
Surgery. The goals of surgery are to remove the cancer from your vagina and to perform a biopsy on the lymph nodes in your groin and possibly the pelvis. This is where vaginal cancer generally spreads. The results of your biopsy will help your doctor see if the cancer is spreading (metastasizing). Your doctor may need to remove other organs or tissue during surgery, depending on the extent of your cancer's spread.
Radiation therapy. The goal of this treatment is to kill cancer cells with high-energy radiation. Your doctor may use low-dose chemotherapy, along with radiation therapy, to make your treatment more effective. You may have this treatment after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. However, doctors often use radiation alone to cure vaginal cancers, especially smaller ones.
Chemotherapy. This is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Doctors do not use chemotherapy as often for vaginal cancer as they do for other types of cancer. The goal of chemotherapy is to shrink the cancer, while also reducing your chance that the cancer will spread to other parts of your body. You may have chemotherapy alone, or along with radiation, to increase the effectiveness of the radiation therapy.
Research is ongoing in the field of vaginal cancer. Researchers are testing new medicines and treatments in clinical trials. Before starting treatment, ask your doctor if there are any clinical trials you should explore.

Open Space Plan is Part of Burnham Plan 100th Year Celebration
CHICAGO (Sept. 25, 2009) - One of Chicago's most impoverished neighborhoods has developed a comprehensive plan to both beautify the community and promote local green businesses, leaders in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood announced today.
"This plan takes a community with a surplus of vacant land and re-envisions it as a garden, produce and green business center. In the best spirit of Burnham, this plan focuses not on what is, but on what might be," said Glenda Daniel, Openlands, which has worked closely with the community to develop the plan.
The New ERA Trail Community Vision Plan was funded by the Exelon Foundation. Openlands, based in Chicago, is one of the nation's oldest metropolitan conservation organizations. The plan would replace large swaths of overgrown, deserted land in Englewood with gardens, a linear park to connect with existing hiking and bicycle trails, and a local marketplace.
Once home to the city's most vibrant commercial district outside the Loop, disinvestment over the last 40 years has left Englewood with one of the highest percentages of open space – in the form of vacant lots – of any community in Chicago.
At the core of the community's ambitious re-development plan is a two-mile stretch of abandoned, raised railway line, located between 58th and 59th Streets and running from Hamilton Avenue to Lowe Avenue. A linear park along the railway, named the New ERA Trail (Englewood Remaking America), will connect residents with new local businesses and be anchored by a four-season "green" flea market.
Community residents hope to attract to the trail businesses that are related to alternative energy or that sell environmental products. An outdoor Festival Plaza located along the trail would bring the community together for festivals, events, live performances and public art. Non-profit Growing Home's organic Wood Street Farm, which sells produce commercially, is already located along the corridor, and Goodness Greenness, an organic food distributor, is established in Englewood.
"Our goal is to support the community's vision of bringing green businesses to this area of Englewood," said Kathy Dickhut, deputy commissioner for sustainable development in Chicago's Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning. "The city is committed to undertaking a land use analysis of the area bordering the proposed New ERA Trail and to working with prospective entrepreneurs to provide appropriate zoning recommendations and otherwise assist with the development of new green businesses. We are in discussions with the railroad that currently owns the proposed trail site to secure access for an environmental assessment and to determine what would be needed to transfer that title to a public agency."
The plan also envisions a network of sites throughout the community where local food will be grown or community-managed parks will replace derelict lots. These gardens will provide food, beautify the community, improve residents' health, provide educational opportunities for students and stimulate local economic activity. The Washburne Culinary Institute at the new Kennedy King College at 63rd Street and Halsted Street is already exploring ways to grow food locally.
One site under development is the Heritage Station Garden and Mural located at 63rd Street and Parnell Avenue. The mural and garden, a project of Terina Crenshaw-Hodges of the Stay Environmentally Focusd' Foundation and funded by the Exelon Foundation, celebrates Englewood's historic role as an important rail junction and as an important stop for African Americans arriving from the South arriving during the early 20th century. It is also the station that from which Emmett Till left on his historic journey south.
Access points, wayfinding signage and gathering spaces will be engineered along the trail to create awareness and facilitate pedestrian and bicycle connections. The project will showcase sustainable development throughout, including use of native plants, rain gardens, bioswales and green roofs. Designs for the trail plan were developed by Hitchcock Design Group based on community input sessions.
"The plan brings together a number of elements that community residents have identified as critical to the community: recognizing our shared cultural and historic heritage, creating connections within the community and beyond, bringing jobs and sustainable development, and creating access to healthier foods and lifestyles," said John Paul Jones of the Greater Englewood Community and Family Task Force, who is leading efforts to build local and political support to transform the New ERA Trail vision into reality.
Designated a "Green Legacy" project by the Burnham Plan Centennial, the Englewood project is one of 20 initiatives of the 100th anniversary celebration that fill critical gaps in the region's green infrastructure.
"One of Burnham's enduring legacies is a commitment to preserving the region's open space and lakefront. From Wisconsin, through Illinois and Northwest Indiana, our region's interconnected network of open spaces and natural areas -- greenways and trails, wetlands, parks and forest preserves -- link our communities together and make life better for everyone," said Steve Solomon, president of the Exelon Foundation, environmental sponsor of the Burnham Plan Centennial.
This year is the 100th anniversary of Daniel Burnham's and Edward Bennett's "Plan of Chicago", one of the first and most visible comprehensive regional plans. One hundred years later, the Burnham Plan still inspires us to be visionary, think regionally, recognize the value of beauty and conservation, and act deliberately to turn our plans into reality for the benefit of all the people of the region.
More than 250 Partners, including museums, professional associations, civic and community organizations, educational institutions and others, are collaborating to develop programs that will shape the Centennial and engage a broad audience.
OpenlandsAs one of the nation's oldest and most successful metropolitan conservation organizations, Openlands protects not just expansive prairies, farms, and wetlands but also public parks and community gardens. In addition to conserving land and waterways, Openlands conducts research, advocates for sound conservation policies, and helps individuals and communities protect and care for their open spaces. For more information, please visit www.openlands.org.
The Burnham Plan CentennialThe Burnham Plan Centennial and its more than 250 partner organizations are offering hundreds of ways for the people of Chicago's three-state metropolitan region to dream big and plan boldly. This 100th anniversary of the Plan of Chicago is once again stirring a diverse community to action on a grand scale – building the best possible quality of life for all. See what you can do at www.BurnhamPlan100.org. And aim high!
Exelon FoundationThe Exelon Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization funded solely by Exelon Corporation, an energy company, through shareholder dollars. The Foundation supports nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations primarily within the Exelon operating companies' service areas. The mission of the Foundation is to encourage respect for the environment and strengthen the social and economic fabric of the community by primarily providing program grants in three areas – environment and conservation awareness, innovative math and science education, and diversity and tolerance.
