Abstract:
A method for a plurality of pipelines, each having a processing element having first and second inputs and first and second lines, wherein at least one of the pipelines includes first and second logic operable to select a respective line so that data is received at the first and second inputs respectively. A first mode is selected and for the at least one pipeline, the first and second lines of that pipeline are selected such that the processing element of that pipeline receives data via the first and second lines of that pipeline, the first line being capable of supplying data that is different to the second line. A second mode is selected and for the at least one pipeline a line of another pipeline is selected, the second line of the at least one pipeline is selected and the same data at the second line is supplied as the first line.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer readable description of an integrated circuit that, when processed in an integrated circuit manufacturing system, causes the integrated circuit manufacturing system to manufacture a processor embodied in hardware on an integrated circuit, the processor comprising:\n a controller configured to select a first mode or a second mode of operation for the processor in dependence on at least one instruction received for processing data at the processor; and a plurality of processing pipelines, wherein each pipeline comprises:\n a processing element having a first input and a second input; \n a first supply line and a second supply line; \n wherein at least one pipeline of the plurality of processing pipelines further comprises:\n first selection logic operable to select a supply line so that data from the selected supply line is received at the first input via the first selection logic; \n second selection logic operable to select a supply line so that data from the selected supply line is received at the second input via the second selection logic, \n wherein in the first mode and for the at least one pipeline, the first and second selection logic are configured to respectively select first and second supply lines of that pipeline such that the processing element of that pipeline receives data via the first and second supply lines of that pipeline, wherein the first supply line is capable of supplying data that is different to the data supplied by the second supply line; wherein, in the second mode and for the at least one pipeline:\n the first selection logic is configured to select a supply line of another one of the plurality of pipelines; \n the second selection logic is configured to select the second supply line of the at least one pipeline; and \n the controller is configured to cause the second supply line of the at least one pipeline to supply the same data as the first supply line of that pipeline.
