<p>A processor (1) of the type having a number of components including at least a configurable arithmetic and logic unit (4), a plurality of registers (3), memory access and datapaths (5), between the components. The datapath width is of variable bit size, namely, n bits, the number of components are selectable and where appropriate, are of in bit size and each component is configured to handle data having one of two sizes namely ≤ n or > n. In essence, there is provided a generic processor that may be tailored to suit the specific tasks, space and computational requirements that have been determined by a designer. A method is also provided for designing such a processor.</p> |
