A computer array () has a plurality of computers (). The computers () communicate with each other asynchronously, and the computers () themselves operate in a generally asynchronous manner internally. When one computer () attempts to communicate with another it goes to sleep until the other computer () is ready to complete the transaction, thereby saving power and reducing heat production. The sleeping computer () can be awaiting data or instructions (). In the case of instructions, the sleeping computer () can be waiting to store the instructions or to immediately execute the instructions. In the later case, the instructions are placed in an instruction register () when they are received and executed therefrom, without first placing the instructions first into memory. The instructions can include a micro-loop () which is capable of performing a series of operations repeatedly. In one application, the sleeping computer () is awakened by an input such that it commences an action that would otherwise have required an interrupt of an otherwise active computer.

A method and apparatus for connecting multiple cores to form a multi core processor. Each processor is connected to at least two other processors, each of which is a mirror image of the first processor. The processors are connected to form a two dimensional matrix connected by one drop busses.

A microprocessor system in which an array of processors communicates more efficiently through the use of a worker mode function. Processors that are not currently executing code remain in an inactive but alert state until a task is sent to them by an adjacent processor. Processors can also be programmed to temporarily suspend a task to check for incoming tasks or messages.

Computer system and method for executing port communications without interrupting the receiving computer

A computer array () has a plurality of computers (). The computers () communicate with each other asynchronously and operate in a generally asynchronous manner internally. When one computer () attempts to communicate with another it goes to sleep until the other computer () is ready to complete the transaction, thereby saving power and reducing heat production. The instructions executed by the computers () can include a micro-loop () which is capable of performing a series of operations repeatedly. In one application, the sleeping computer () is awakened by an input such that it commences an action that would otherwise required an interrupt of an otherwise active computer. For example, one computer () can be used to monitor an input/output port of the computer array ().

Method and apparatus for monitoring inputs to an asyncrhonous, homogenous, reconfigurable computer array

A computer array () has a plurality of computers (). The computers () communicate with each other asynchronously, and the computers () themselves operate in a generally asynchronous manner internally. Instruction words () can include a micro-loop () which is capable of performing a series of operations repeatedly. In a particular example, the series of operations are included in a single instruction word (). The micro-loop () in combination with the ability of the computers () to send instruction words () to a neighboring computer () provides a powerful tool for allowing a computer () to utilize the resources of a neighboring computer ().

A stack processor comprises a data stack with a T register, an S register, and eight hardwired bottom registers which function in a circular repeating pattern. The stack processor also comprises a return stack containing an R register, and eight hardwired bottom registers which function in a circular repeating pattern. The circular register arrays described herein eliminate overflow and underflow stack conditions.

An adapter for securing a cosmetic implement to a cosmetic dispensing unit, such as a razor secured to a shaving cream can, is made by positioning a snap-on supporting body or collar of unitary construction around the top of the dispensing unit. The collar includes a flange having a radial extension which defines an opening therethrough to receive the handle of the razor. The collar also includes a longitudinally extending ridge which receives the snap-on cap which comes with the shaving cream dispenser. Alternatively the ridge may be extended to form an integrally formed member to replace the cap which normally covers the can.
