SYMBOLIC PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

In a symbolic processing system having a microprogrammable processor, the processor includes a plurality of gate arrays implementing a date path circuit and sources and destinations for data from the data path circuit. The gate arrays are connected by an internal bus and the internal bus is utilized as a first bus during a first portion of a clock cycle to enable the data path circuit to receive data from one of different sources and utilizing internal bus as a second bus during a second nonoverlapping portion of the clock cycle to apply the result of an operation to one of different destinations in the processor. In this way a single bus is time multiplexed.
