Abstract
An interconnection device () with a number of links (and), each link having a number of link input ports (), link output ports () and storage registers (). An input selection switch () is coupled to a selected link input port to receive an input data token. The storage registers () may be used to store input data tokens. A storage access switch () is coupled to the input selection switch () and to the storage registers () and may be used to select the current input data token or a token from the storage registers as an output data token. An output selection switch () receives the output data token and provides it to a selected link output port. The interconnection device may, for example, be used to connect the inputs and outputs of the processing elements of a vector processor or digital signal processor.
