ABSTRACT:
A multi-processor array organization is dynamically configured by the inclusion of a configuration topology field in instructions broadcast to the processors in the array. Each of the processors in the array is capable of performing a customized data selection and storage, instruction execution, and result destination selection, by uniquely interpreting a broadcast instruction by using the identity of the processor executing the instruction. In this manner, processing elements in a large multi-processing array can be dynamically reconfigured and have their operations customized for each processor using broadcast instructions.
