Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for performing calculation operations using a pipelined calculation device comprising a group of at least two pipeline stages. The pipeline stages comprise at least one data interface for input of data and at least one data interface for output of data. In the method, data for performing calculation operations is input to the device. Selective data processing is performed in the calculation device, wherein between at least one input data interface and at least one output data interface a selection is performed to connect at least one input data interface to at least one output data interface for routing data between at least one input data interface and at least one output data interface and for processing data according to the selection. The invention further relates to a system and a device in which the method is utilized.
