Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Prozessor, der als Hauptmerkmal ein internes Raster von ALUs aufweist, mit dessen Hilfe sequentielle Programme abgearbeitet werden. Die Verbindungen zwischen den ALUs werden automatisch dynamisch zur Laufzeit über Multiplexer hergestellt. Verantwortlich für das Herstellen der Verbindungen ist eine zentrale Dekodier- und Konfigurationseinheit, die aus einem Strom herkömmlicher Assembler-Befehle Konfigurationsdaten für das ALU-Grid zur Laufzeit erzeugt. Neben dem ALU-Grid ist eine spezielle Einheit für die Ausführung von Speicherzugriffen und eine weitere Einheit für die Behandlung von Sprungbefehlen vorhanden. Die dem Prozessor zugrunde liegende neuartige Architektur ermöglicht die effiziente Durchführung sowohl von Kontrollfluss- als auch von Datenfluss-orientieren Aufgaben.
