Abstract:
1. A scalable processing system having general purpose registers and a general purpose memory, comprising: a memory device that is operative to store a plurality of executable program instructions in definable locations, each said executable program instruction being propagated through said memory device, wherein position of each of said executable program instructions in said memory device is associated with a current timetag and each said timetag is indicative of the nominal sequential order of execution of said associated executable program instructions; a plurality of processing elements distributed throughout said memory device, each of said processing elements being configured and arranged to receive executable program instructions from current positions of said memory device, wherein each of said processing elements executes said executable program instructions associated with said current position without regard to order; and a plurality of active stations associated with each of said processing elements for enforcing programmatic ordering of said executable program instructions as indicated by the state of said timetag.
