ABSTRACT:
A flexible results pipeline for a processing element of a parallel processor is described. A plurality of result registers are selectively connected to each other, to processing logic of the processing element and to a neighborhood connection register configured to receive data from and send data to other processing elements. The connections between the result registers and between the result registers and the neighborhood connection register are selectively configurable by applied control signals.
