STREAMING ENGINE WITH MULTI DIMENSIONAL CIRCULAR ADDRESSING SELECTABLE AT EACH DIMENSION

Abstract: a streaming engine employed in a digital data processor may specify a fixed read-only data stream defined by plural nested loops. an address generator produces address of data elements for the nested loops. a steam head register stores data elements next to be supplied to functional units for use as operands. a stream template register independently specifies a linear address or a circular address mode for each of the nested loops.
