Abstract
A method for complex data movement in a multi-processor data processing system. In one embodiment, the multi-processor data processing system (10) includes an array (12) of data processors (50-65), a plurality of edge interface circuits (14,16), and a bus interface controller (22). In an alternate embodiment, multiprocessor data processing system (210) includes an array (212) of data processors (250-258), a plurality of edge interface circuits (214-217), and a bus interface controller (222). The data processing systems (10,210) are capable of performing complex data movement patterns between the processors (50-65,250-258) and the corresponding edge interface circuits (14, 16, 214-217), such as a transpose pattern, a ping-pong pattern, and a checkerboard pattern.
