Abstract
An input/output system transfers data packets to and from a SIMD array of processing elements (PEs) such that different sizes of data packets are transferred to respective ones of the PEs. The packets are transferred in batches to respective different addresses in the array under the control of the PEs. Transfer to or from the array may be carried out when either a batch or part of a batch is ready for transfer. The decision to transfer either full or part batches is made in dependence upon the speed of the PEs and the speed and intermittency of the data packets.
