States that are used in configuring a processing pipeline are passed down through a separate pipeline in parallel with the data transmitted down through the processing pipeline. With this separate pipeline, the states for configuring any one stage of the processing pipeline are continuously available in the corresponding stage of the state pipeline, and new states for configuring the processing pipeline can be transmitted down the state pipeline without flushing the processing pipeline. The processing pipeline and the separate pipeline for the states can be divided into multiple sections so that the width of the separate pipeline for the states can be reduced.
