ABSTRACT:
An architecture is described, wherein an operation unit, such as an arithmetic unit, is used for performing a variety of repetitive tasks. The present invention includes embodiments and related methods for power and computationally efficiency in performing repetitive tasks. The system includes an operation unit and a configuration control unit that is in communication with a processor. The processor sends the configuration information to the configuration unit and the configuration unit provides configuration information to the operation unit. The method includes configuring the operation unit using the configuration unit based on the configuration information, retrieving data from a designated location upon which the operation unit operates, and producing a result that is formatted and send to a destination.
