    Abstract: A processing device for executing distributed memory operations using spatial processing units (SPU) connected by distributed channels is disclosed. A distributed channel may or may not be associated with memory operations, such as load operations or store operations. Distributed channel information is obtained for an algorithm to be executed by a group of spatially distributed processing elements. The group of spatially distributed processing elements can be connected to a shared memory controller. For each distributed channel in the distributed channel information, one or more of the group of spatially distributed processing elements may be associated with the distributed channel based on the algorithm. By associating the spatially distributed processing elements to a distributed channel, the functionality of the processing element can vary depending on the algorithm mapped onto the SPU.
