  • Processor utilizing reconfigurable process segments to accomodate data word length
    Patent number: 4748585
    Abstract: An independently programmable, parallel processor for electronic computers for performing mathematical and logical operations is provided having an array of arithmetic-logic units which are interconnected so as to form dynamically reconfigurable segments of arithmetic-logic units within the array. These dynamically reconfigurable segments are formed by particular combinations of the arithmetic-logic units and are so combined with selective switching circuitry so as to provide the processor with its independent and parallel features.
