Abstract
A parallel processor computer system. The computer includes parallel processor units, an instruction unit which provides instructions to the processors and generates input and output address offsets, an invariant address unit which combines a multiconnect pointer with the address offsets to generate input and output operand addresses, and a multiconnect storage unit. Storage elements in the multiconnect unit are arranged in a matrix such that an output operand from a processor is stored in all the elements of an associated row and an input operand for a processor is obtained from any element of an associated column.
