Patent ID: 11249753

Abstract:
In order to provide processor elements and programmable devices, which have little restriction on logical block arrangement and wiring, and which can improve a degree of integration, processor element 1 includes: arithmetic units 11 that perform arithmetic processing on the basis of functions which have implemented instruction sets generated in accordance with programs; registers 12 that store arguments of the functions; bypass switches 13 of the arithmetic units 11; bypass switches 14 of the registers 12; a connection setting unit 16 that switches the connections of function units 20; a multiplexer 17 that switches the input to the connection setting unit 16; a demultiplexer 18 that switches the output destination of the output from the connection setting unit 16; and a selection unit 15 that switches, in accordance with a state, the bypass switches 13, 14, the connection setting unit 16, the multiplexer 17 and the demultiplexer 18.
