ABSTRACT:
A bit slice processor system includes a bit slice ALU that is cascadable to provide multiple length words. Each of the ALUs provides both command outputs and status outputs. The status outputs are interfaced with each of the package as are the command outputs. Each of the ALUs in the cascaded ALU are controlled by an instruction word to perform a predetermined processing function. Internal status information is processed to generate a command output and a status output. This command is transmitted simultaneously with the status to the remaining packages in the cascaded array to provide processing control.
