<p>There is described a processor architecture, comprising: a plurality of first bus pairs, each first bus pair including a respective first bus running in a first direction (for example, left to right) and a respective second bus running in a second direction opposite to the first direction (for example right to left); a plurality of second bus pairs,each second bus pair including a respective third bus running in a third direction (for example downwards) and a respective fourth bus running in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction (for example upwards), the third and fourth buses intersecting the first and second buses; a plurality of switch matrices, each switch matrix located at an intersection of a first and a second pair of buses; a plurality of elements arranged in an array, each element being arranged to receive data from a respective first or second bus, and transfer data to a respective first or second bus. The elements in the array include processing elements, for operating on received data, and memory elements, for storing received data. The described architecture has the advantage that it requires relatively little memory, and the memory requirements can be met by local memory elements in the array.</p> |
