A digital processing system P, configured as a regular tree with n&plus;1 levels S , S , S . . . S and degree k, provided in the form of a circuit P on the level S and forms the root node of the tree, an underlying level S , q&equals;1,2, . . . n&minus;1, in the circuit P provided nested in the K circuits P on the overlying level S , each circuit P on this level including k circuits P . A q&equals;n defined zeroth level in the circuit P includes from K &plus;1 to K circuits P which form kernel processors in the processing device P and on the level S and constitute the leaf nodes of the tree, the kernel processor P being provided nested in each of the circuits p on the level S . Each of the circuits P , P , . . . P , includes a logic unit E which generally is connected with circuits P , P , . . . P . Each of the circuits P , P , . . . P has additionally identical interfaces I, such that I &minus;I &minus; . . . I .

Digital processing system

A non-numeric coprocessor for fuzzy information retrieval and pattern recognition has means for information processing and is connectable to a host computer and a data source. A plurality of internal processing elements are organized in a number of simultaneously operable window modules (W , W , . . . ) a arranged for inspecting data streams from said source. The processing elements compare data stream bytes with predetermined upper and lower bounds, to decide whether a byte is within said bounds, and, if so, to produce a hit signal. Each window module has a window match logic for correlating hit signals from its different processing elements, and to produce a window match signal, by the occurrence of a predefined match. By structuring the coprocessor in this manner, a parallel processing potential is attained, which can be utilized by data routing means ( ) to allow for separate data streams to be routed to individual or chained window modules selectably configured as groups of windows or super-windows according to application needs.
