Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 14, wherein the fracturable data path includes two or more sub-paths and the pipeline registers of the plurality of computation stages are broken into sub-path pipeline registers; and
the method further comprising:
determining a first ALU operation of the first address calculation for the first starting stage;
selecting a first sub-path to use for a value by the ALU of the first starting stage;
determining a second ALU operation of the first address calculation for the first ending stage;
selecting a second sub-path to use for a value by the ALU of the first ending stage; and
including information in the configuration file to configure the ALU of the first starting stage to perform the first ALU operation and direct a result of the first ALU operation to a sub-path pipeline register of the first starting stage associated with the first sub-path, and configure the ALU of the first ending stage to perform the second ALU operation and direct a result of the second ALU operation to a sub-path pipeline register of the first ending stage associated with the second sub-path.
