Abstract
A processing device is provided. A cluster includes a plurality of groups of processing elements. A multi-word device is connected to the processing elements within the groups. Each processing element in a particular group is in communication with all other processing elements within the particular group, and only one of the processing elements within other groups in the cluster. Each processing element is limited to operations in which input bits can be processed and an output obtained without reference to other bits. The multi-word device is configured to cooperate with at least two other processing elements to perform processing that requires reference to other bits to obtain a result.
