Abstract
A single-instruction multiple-data processor (10) has an input layer especially designed for high data input and output rates. The processor (10) has a number of processing elements (20), each corresponding to incoming data samples. The processing elements (20) are interleaved so that a set of samples can be input in parallel. The processor (10) is programmable, which makes it especially useful for digital filtering. Near-neighbor communications (41) among processing elements (20) realize the delays required for horizontal filtering.
