A multi-node video signal processor (VSP<SUB>N</SUB>) is describes that tightly couples multiple multi-cycle state machines (hardware assist units) to each processor and each memory in each node of an N node scalable array processor. VSP<SUB>N </SUB>memory hardware assist instructions are used to initiate multi-cycle state machine functions, to pass parameters to the multi-cycle state machines, to fetch operands from a node's memory, and to control the transfer of results from the multi-cycle state machines.
