Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 13, the fracturable data path of the configurable unit including an input, and the plurality of computation stages of the fracturable data path further including respective arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and selection logic to select two or more operands for the respective ALU;
the first set of stages including a first starting stage and a first ending stage and the second set of stages including a second starting stage and a second ending stage; and
the method further comprising including information in the configuration file to:
configure the selection logic of the first ending stage and second ending stage respectively to select operands for the respective ALU from outputs of the pipeline register of an immediately preceding stage, the input, or the two or more immediate values associated with that stage, and
configure the selection logic in the first starting stage and the second starting stage respectively to select operands for the respective ALU from the input, or the two or more immediate values associated with that stage, but not from the output of the pipeline register of the immediately preceding stage.
