Energy Efficient Processor Core Architecture for Image Processor

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a program controller to fetch and issue instructions. The apparatus includes an execution lane having at least one execution unit to execute the instructions. The execution lane is part of an execution lane array that is coupled to a two dimensional shift register array structure, wherein, execution lane s of the execution lane array are located at respective array locations and are coupled to dedicated registers at same respective array locations in the two-dimensional shift register array.

Two dimensional shift array for image processor

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes an execution lane array coupled to a two dimensional shift register array structure. Locations in the execution lane array are coupled to same locations in the two-dimensional shift register array structure such that different execution lanes have different dedicated registers.

An analog-to-digital converter is provided. The analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. The analog-to-digital converter includes a comparison circuit and a processing circuit. The comparison circuit is configured to compare the analog signal with each of a ramp signal and the ramp signal plus a predetermined offset to generate a control signal. The processing circuit, coupled to the comparison circuit, is configured to selectively store a count value of a counter circuit as the digital signal according to the control signal. When the control signal indicates that a signal level of the analog signal is greater than a signal level of the ramp signal and less than the signal level of the ramp signal plus the predetermined offset, the processing circuit is configured to store the count value as the digital signal.
