To apply a quasi-cyclic low density parity check(QC-LDPC)to different scenarios,a data-stream driven pipelined macro instruction set and a reconfigurable processor architecture are proposed for the typical QC-LDPC algorithm.The data-level parallelism is improved by instructions to dynamically configure the multi-core computing units.Simultaneously,an intelligent adjustment strategy based on a programmable wake-up controller(WuC)is designed so that the computing mode,operating voltage,and frequency of the QC-LDPC algorithm can be adjusted.This adjustment can improve the computing efficiency of the processor.The QC-LDPC processors are verified on the Xilinx ZCU102 field programmable gate array(FPGA)board and the computing efficiency is measured.The experimental results indicate that the QC-LDPC processor can support two encoding lengths of three typical QC-LDPC algorithms and 20 adaptive operating modes of operating voltage and frequency.The maximum efficiency can reach up to 12.18 Gbit/(s·W),which is more flexible than existing state-of-the-art processors for QC-LDPC.
