HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF WINDOWED OPERATIONS IN THREE OR MORE DIMENSIONS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 19018414 titled 'HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF WINDOWED OPERATIONS IN THREE OR MORE DIMENSIONS

Original Abstract Submitted

A windowed operation is implemented in at least three traversed dimensions. The windowed operation applies a window having at least three dimensions to data having at least three traversed dimensions, with shifts of the window in all three traversed dimensions. Two dimensions of the at least three traversed dimensions are selected, and the windowed operation is mapped to a plurality of constituent 2-D windowed operations in the selected two dimensions, the 2-D windowed operations applying a slice of the window to a slice of the data, with shifts of the slice of the window in only two dimensions. Each of the plurality of 2-D windowed operations is implemented by at least one hardware accelerator, each 2-D windowed operation producing a respective partial result, and the partial results are assembled to produce the result of the windowed operation.
