Abstract: A system for processing data flow array instructions is described. The system includes a data flow array, which includes a plurality of processing elements; a decoder to receive a data flow array instruction and generate a set of microinstructions based on the data flow array instruction; a reservation station to receive and dispatch each microinstruction in the set of microinstructions, wherein the set of microinstructions includes a configuration microinstruction for configuring the data flow array for processing the data flow array instruction; a configuration watcher to receive the configuration microinstruction and to add a configuration identifier and a set of parameters of the configuration microinstruction to a configuration queue for the data flow array, wherein the data flow array is to configure the plurality of processing elements based on configuration information associated with the configuration identifier and the set of parameters.
