Abstract
An execution unit ( ) interface protocol allowing flow-through of data, where a function is specified once and the execution unit performs the function for multiple sets of input data. Function execution is pipelined through the execution unit, where an input unit ( ) stores information, while a function logic unit ( ) processes data and an output unit ( ) holds results to be output. The execution unit ( ) allows for data rate distortion, in applications such as data compression, where the amount of data received is different from the amount of data generated as output.
