Abstract
A plurality of control processors distribute data to be processed to a corresponding plurality of arithmetic processors using a dynamic allocation arrangement. The arithmetic processors process blocks of information and communicate the blocks of processed information to the control processors for subsequent processing as necessary. The control processors are implemented to efficiently allocate tasks to the arithmetic processors and to partition blocks of data for allocation as separate partitioned tasks to the arithmetic processors. This partitioning of blocks of data to be processed as partitioned tasks significantly reduces the delay until the results are available by distributing the task over a plurality of arithmetic processors. It also significantly improves utilization of processing resources by assigning the task to a plurality of processors that may be available.
