Abstract
A circuit includes reconfigurable units that are reconfigurable to compute a combined result. A first intermediate result of a first reconfigurable unit of the reconfigurable units is exchanged with a second intermediate result of the second reconfigurable unit of the reconfigurable units. The first reconfigurable unit computes a first portion of the combined result utilizing the second intermediate result. The second reconfigurable unit of the reconfigurable units computes a second portion of the combined result utilizing the first intermediate result.
