摘要： A processing element may be used either separately or in an array of similar processing elements for performing concurrent data processing calculations. The processing element includes a multiported memory unit for storing data to be processed by any of a plurality of function units which are connected to the multiported memory unit. The multiported memory unit includes a number of data storage slots for storing data words to be processed and the results of said processing. Each function unit performs a calculation having as its inputs one or or more data words from the multiported memory unit. The result of this calculation is stored back in the multiported memory unit. The transfer of data to and from the function units is accomplished by use of the ports on said multiported memory unit. The data manipulated by the processing element is controlled by specifying a correspondence between data storage slots, memory input ports and memory output ports.
