Abstract
A processing engine array is provided with an interconnect mode of operation to use the array as an interconnect to move data elements to different locations in memory such as to perform a matrix transpose operation. In this interconnect mode of operation, although computations are still being performed in the array, the computations are not carried out to modify or change the values of the data elements, but are instead carried out to rearrange the data elements in memory. As such, the computations carried out in the interconnect mode of operation can deviate from the expected behavior of floating-point calculations. A mode selection signal can be used to provide the proper outputs of the processing elements of the array depending on the mode of operation.
