Claim One:
1. A reconfigurable module comprising: an operational block including at least one adder/subtracter, at least one logic block, five inputs and three outputs, the first output of the operational block being capable of delivering the following results: the result of the addition of the first and second inputs of the operational block, or the result of the subtraction of the second input from the first input of the operational block, or the minimum of the first and second inputs of the operational block, or the maximum of the first and second inputs of the operational block, the second output of the operational block being capable of delivering the following results: the result of the addition of the fourth and fifth inputs of the operational block, or the result of the subtraction of the fifth input from the fourth input of the operational block, or the minimum of the fourth and fifth inputs of the operational block, or the maximum of the fourth and fifth inputs of the operational block, or the minimum of the first, second and fourth inputs of the operational block, or the maximum of the first, second and fourth inputs of the operational block, the third output of the operational block being capable of delivering the following results: the result of the addition of the first output and the third input of the operational block, or the result of the subtraction of the third input from the first output of the operational block the result delivered by any of the first, second and third outputs depending on the type of operation performed by said at least one adder/subtracter and on the links established between the inputs and the outputs of said at least one logic block.
