Claim One:
1. A system for adaptive configuration, the system comprising: a first set of configuration information, the first set of configuration information including a first subset of configuration information and a second subset of configuration information; a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements including a first computational element and a second computational element, the first computational element having a first fixed architecture and the second computational element having a second fixed architecture, the first fixed architecture being different than the second fixed architecture; and an interconnection network coupled to the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, the interconnection network operative to configure the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a first functional mode of a plurality of functional modes, in response to the first subset of configuration information, and the interconnection network further operative to reconfigure the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a second functional mode of the plurality of functional modes, in response to the second subset of configuration information, the first functional mode being different than the second functional mode.
