ARITHMETIC NODE INCLUDING GENERAL DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FUNCTIONS FOR AN ADAPTIVE COMPUTING MACHINE

摘要

An apparatus for processing operations in an adaptive computing environment is provided. The adaptive computing environment including at least one processing node. A node includes a memory configured to receive and store data. The data is received from a programmable interconnection network and stored. The node also includes an execution unit configured to perform a signal processing operation. The operation is performed using data retrieved from the memory and an output result is generated. The output result may be used for further computations or sent directly to the programmable interconnection network for transfer to another processing node in the adaptive computing environment.
