ABSTRACT:
A parallel data processing system is formed as a binary tree of data processing elements. Each of the elements includes an interface unit having registers coupled to registers in the interface unit of adjacent higher and lower order elements in the binary tree. Signals comprising instructions and data for processing in the elements are broadcast to the elements via the coupled registers for simultaneous processing in the elements. Processing results are compared and reported via the registers in a resolve/report operation.
