A novel FIFO data structure in the form of a multi-dimensional FIFO. For a rectangular multi-dimensional FIFO, data items are received at an input of an N-row-by-M-column FIFO array of cells and transferred to an output, via a predetermined protocol of cell transfers, in the same order as received. Transfer rules or protocol are controlled by a control circuit implemented using asynchronous pipeline modules or a control circuit relying upon transition signaling. |
