Abstract
An array processor is described consisting of a plurality of modules connected together in rows and columns. Each module has at least one special terminal which, as well as providing a connection for transfer of data between adjacent modules, also provides an output which is combined with similar signals from the other modules in the same row, to form a row response signal. Alternate modules in each row are rotated by 180.degree. with respect to each other, so that the special terminals on adjacent modules are connected in pairs. This reduces the complexity of the circuits for forming the row response signals.
