Abstract:
1. An apparatus for performing adaptive multimedia functions, the apparatus comprising: a configurable logic computational unit including a first plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, each of the computational elements performing an arithmetic operation, the logic computational unit configurable for general logic functions via a logic interconnection network coupled to the first plurality of computational elements, the first plurality of computational elements and the logic interconnection network fabricated on an integrated circuit; a configurable digital signal processing unit including a second plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, each of the second plurality of computational elements performing an arithmetic operation, the digital signal processing unit configurable for digital signal processing functions via a digital signal processing interconnection network coupled to the second plurality of circuit computational elements, the second plurality of computational elements and the digital signal processing interconnection network fabricated on a second integrated circuit; and wherein the interconnection networks are operative to establish interconnections between at least some of the first and second plurality of computational elements to configure the computational units to perform a first media functional mode, and the interconnection networks are further operative to change the interconnections between at least some of the first or second plurality of computational elements to reconfigure the computational units to perform a second, different, media functional mode.
