Abstract

A data processor system having at least one arithmetic/logic processor element and at least one memory processor element which can be coupled in circuit using a crossbar switch. The arithmetic/logic processor element is provided with an ALU and a program memory. The ALU has an input for instructions. The instructions can be made up of data from the program memory and data from the crossbar switch via a channel specifically present for the purpose.
