Assignee: REBELLIONS INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A processing device comprising:
a first set of processors comprising a first processor, a second processor connected in series with the first processor in a forward direction, and a third processor connected in series with the second processor in the forward direction; and
a first memory connected in series with the first processor in a backward direction,
wherein the first set of processors performs a computation,
a data path for the first set of processors is determined among a plurality of candidate data paths according to a type of the computation,
the determined data path is configured on the at least one forward data line and the at least one backward data line by controlling controllable ports of the first set of processors,
wherein the determined data path comprises a data movement path in the forward direction and a data movement path in the backward direction, and
the determined data path is configured even when at least one of the first processor, the second processor, or the third processor is inoperative.
