ABSTRACT:
A data processing system includes two or more parallel processors, a distributor and a combiner. The processors process input data items and generate corresponding output data items. The distributor includes an input counter for generating an ID corresponding to each of the input data items and a distributor for placing the input data items and the corresponding ID's in processor input words and distributing each of the processor input words to selected ones of the processors in accordance with a distribution algorithm. The combiner receives from the processors processor output words containing the output data items and the corresponding ID's. The combiner includes an output counter for generating an output count and comparators for comparing the output count with the ID's in the processor output words. The combiner further includes a combining circuit for transferring an output data item to an output data stream in response to detection by one of the comparators of a match condition between the output count and an ID corresponding to the output data item to be transferred. As a result, the data items in the output data stream have the same order as the data items in the input data stream.
