A computing system that includes a number of processing elements, a memory and a multi-task controller is disclosed. One of the processing elements is a floating point element. In one embodiment, the floating point element performs floating point calculations on ASCII data. The floating point element receives data in the form of ASCII character strings that are terminated by an ASCII space character and control information via a strobe that indicates the function to be performed on the data. The functions includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and push and pop. The floating point element performs floating point calculations for a particular task which is indicated by a tag that is stored in the floating point element. Status of a floating point element is available via a read strobe that returns a status byte.
