14.3.15. Multiwire Transpose (MultiwireTranspose)

The DSP Builder MultiwireTranspose block performs a specialized reordering of a block of data and presents it on multiple wires. The size of the block and the number of wires must both be a power of 2.

Each element in the block has a logical address, which DSP Builder forms by concatenating its spatial address (wire number) with its temporal address (slot number). The spatial address is the least-significant part of the logical address; the temporal address is the most significant part.The block specifies the reordering as an arbitrary permutation of the address bits.The block numbers the address bits from 0 (least significant). The block specifies the permutation by listing the address bits in order, starting with the least significant.

For example: specifying:

[7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0] bit-reverses a block of 256 elements

[6 7 4 5 2 3 0 1] digit reverses a block (radix 4)

[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] leaves the order of the data unchanged

[6 7 0 1 2 3 4 5] rotates the address bits

[2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1] is be the inverse rotation.
