Abstract
A processor is provided with a datapath and control logic, where the datapath and/or the control logic are constituted with basis execution blocks (BEB). Each BEB includes an addressable storage and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) selectably coupled to each other in a manner that allows instruction execution and/or control decisions to be effectuated through storage read/write operations against the addressable storage and ALU operations performed by the ALU. In one embodiment, the addressable storage of each BEB is a cache memory. In another embodiment, the read, write and ALU operations are hierarchically organized.
