Abstract:
1. A method of synchronizing and reconfiguring configurable elements in units having a multi-dimensional programmable cell architecture, comprising: generating by at least one of the configurable elements at least one synchronization signal within a data stream during processing by the configurable elements; transmitting via a data bus the at least one synchronization signal to a first at least one other of the configurable elements for synchronization; generating at least one configuration string from the data stream based on commands; and transmitting via the data bus the at least one configuration string together with an address of a register to be addressed to at least one of (a) the first at least one other configurable element and (b) a second at least one other configurable element, wherein the configurable elements are at least one of configurable and reconfigurable without influence of an external primary logic unit.
