Abstract
A method of operating a digital computer includes the steps of addressing a memory, reading a row of data from the memory, providing the same computational instruction simultaneously to each processor element of a plurality of processor elements, where each of the processor elements is selectively coupled to a corresponding bit position of the memory row of data, performing the same computational operation on a selected plurality of data bits in parallel, and writing the result into the memory at the same row from which the data was read.
