ABSTRACT:
A data processing system having a plurality of processing units (C1, C2), a plurality of memory units (M1, M2) and a communication system providing communication between the processing units and the memory units. The processing units each have a plurality of register sets (R1, R2) allowing them to run a plurality of processes. When a process requires data from memory, which it receives over the communication system, its respective processing unit processes another of its processes until that requires data. Data is transmitted over the communication system, which may be configured as a grid, in the form of packets. The grid is configured from routing devices which include first-in-first-out devices for the buffering of packets. The system facilitates the construction of circuits integrated onto a singel wafter of semiconducting material. Furthermore the grid structure may also be employed as a local area network and computers having a similar architecture may be connected to the network providing a processing facility of considerable power.
