Abstract
An object oriented processor array includes a library of functional objects which are instantiated by commands through a system object and which communicate via a high level language. According to the invention, instantiated objects communicate directly with a script server which is programmed to react to data events generated by instantiated objects. One script server may serve several object oriented processor arrays, or an object oriented processor array may have a local script server. The object oriented processor array may be embodied in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Each functional object may include a discrete hardware processor or may be embodied as a virtual processor within the operations of a single processor. According to one embodiment, the object oriented processor array is formed on a single chip or on a single processor chip and an associated memory chip.
