Abstract
A hardware device for processing the tasks of an algorithm of the type having a number of processes the execution of some of which depend on binary decisions has a plurality of task units (), each of which are associated with a task defined as being either one process or one decision or one process together with a following decision. A task interconnection logic block () is connected to each task unit for communicating actions from a source task unit to a destination task unit. Each task unit includes a processor () for processing the steps of the associated task when a received action requests such a processing. A status manager () handles actions coming from other task units and builds actions to be sent to other task units.
