INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE

摘要

An integrated circuit device comprises a processing section including arithmetic units arranged in a matrix, a first group of lines extending in a first direction of the matrix and adapted for transmitting input data inputt ed to the arithmetic units, a second group of lines extending in a second direction of the matrix and adapted for transmitting output data outputted from the arithmetic units, switching units arranged at intersections of the lines of the first and second groups and adapted for selecting a line out of the first group and a line out of the second group to interconnect them. The arithmetic units include ones suited to specific processings and having different data paths. In at least a part of the data processing section, the re is an array of arithmetic units of the same type extending in the first or second direction. Since the combination of the arithmetic units of the integrated circuit device can be changed, the function can be dynamically changed. Further the integrated circuit device is constituted of arithmetic units having different data paths suitable to specific processings and consequently is compact and economical.
