ABSTRACT:
A horizontal computer for execution of an instruction loop with overlapped code. The computer includes a plurality of processors, a multiconnect unit for storing operands for the processors, an instruction unit for specifying address offsets and operations to be performed by the processors, and an invariant address unit for combining the address offsets with a modifiable pointer to form source and destination addresses in the multiconnect unit. The instruction unit enables different ones of the processors as a function of which iteration of the loop is being executed, for example by means of processor control circuitry or by selectively providing instructions to the processors, so that different operations are performed during different iterations.
