ABSTRACT:
A data processor comprises a plurality of processing elements arranged in a first plurality of single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processing arrays, and comprises a second plurality of controllers for transferring instructions to the processing arrays. Each controller is operable to retrieve a plurality of incoming instruction streams in parallel with one another and operable to supply incoming instruction streams to one of a plurality of processing arrays.
