Patent ID: 8549260

Claim:
An apparatus for processing data, comprising: a second configurable processor configured in accordance with second configuration data to process data; and a configuration data re-manipulator configured to: retrieve manipulated second configuration data and first data of a first processor, wherein the first processor is a configurable processor, and wherein the first data is first configuration data for the first configurable processor, and wherein the first configurable processor is configured in accordance with the first configuration data; re-manipulate the manipulated second configuration data depending on the first data; and feed the re-manipulated second configuration data to the second configurable processor and configure the second configurable processor in accordance with the re-manipulated second configuration data, wherein the configuration data re-manipulator comprises a logic circuit configured to logically combine the first data and the manipulated second configuration data to obtain the re-manipulated second configuration data, wherein the logic circuit comprises an exclusive OR (XOR)-gate or an XNOR-gate for performing a bit wise XOR- or XNOR-operation with the first data to obtain re-manipulation data for the second configuration data.
