International ClassesG06F 013/00G06K 009/56 G06G 009/00 AbstractA data processing system for simultaneously processing a plurality of data words, comprising one or more data processing planes each of which comprises a plurality of processing entities logically organized as rows and columns as a two dimensional array of processing entities, each of the processing entities being operable for performing arithmetic and logical operations on data words in a substantially simultaneous manner with others of the processing entities. Substantially all of the processing entities are operatively coupled to at least one other processing entity in an immediately adjacent row or column for transferring data therebetween and are also further operatively coupled to at least one other processing entity in a nonadjacent row or column for transferring data therebetween.Other References
