An apparatus that provides configurable processing includes a fetch module, a decoder, and a dynamic arithmetic unit. The fetch module is operable to fetch at least one instruction and provide it to the decoder. The decoder receives the instruction and decodes it. The dynamic arithmetic logic unit receives the decoded instruction and configures at least one configurable arithmetic logic unit to perform an operation contained within the decoded instruction.
