A processor comprises a computational array of computational elements and an instruction dispatch circuit. The computational elements receive data operands via data lanes extending along a first dimension, and processes the operands based upon instructions received from the instruction dispatch circuit via instruction lanes extending along a second dimension. The instruction dispatch circuit receives raw instructions, and comprises an instruction dispatch unit (IDU) processor that processes a set of raw instructions to generate processed instructions for dispatch to the computational elements, where the number of processed instructions is not equal to the number of instructions of the set of raw instructions. The processed instructions are dispatched to columns of the computational array via a plurality of instruction queues, wherein an instruction vector of instructions is shifted between adjacent instruction queues in a first direction, and dispatches instructions to the computational elements in a second direction.

Processor instruction dispatch configuration

A draining tool useful for controlled draining of a fluid container, such as a threaded spin-on type oil filter. The draining tool includes a piercing pin having a tapered point, striking head, resilient spring, resilient spring retainer assembly, and piercing pin retainer assembly. The draining tool includes a central block having an axial bore housing the piercing pin, and an internal chamber having a channel permitting drainage of fluid from the internal chamber. One end of the central block provides an attachment assembly suitable for holding the tool against the fluid container allowing the fluid container to be pierced by the piercing pin and the internal chamber to receive fluid flowing from the fluid container.
