Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for an FPGA architecture that may improve processing speed and efficiency in processing less complex operands. Some applications may utilize operands that are less complex, such as operands that are 1, 2, or 4 bits, for example. In some examples, the DSP architecture may skip or avoid processing all received operands or may process a common operand more frequently than other operands. An example apparatus may include a first configurable logic unit configured to receive a first operand and a second operand; a second configurable logic unit configured to receive a third operand and the first calculated operand; a first switch configured to receive the first operand and a fourth operand and to output a first selected operand; and a second switch configured to receive the second calculated operand and the first selected operand.
