Abstract
Instruction and data registers of processors of a multiprocessing computing system are joined and forked to allow processing in multiple modes of operation. When joined, the registers of the processors each contain a same piece of information, hence generating single instruction and data streams. In contrast, when forked, the registers of the processors contain different pieces of information, thereby generating multiple instruction and data streams. Additionally, information may be stored into partitions of memory and fetched and broadcast by processors local to the particular memory sections thereby resulting in a faster cycle time.
