Abstract
Clusters of logical elements are interconnected by a switching fabric. Each cluster contains processing elements, storage elements, and switching elements. A circular buffer within a cluster contains multiple switching instructions to control the flow of data throughout the switching fabric. The circular buffer provides a pipelined execution of switching instructions for the implementation of multiple functions. Each cluster contains multiple processing elements, and each cluster further comprises an additional circular buffer for each processing element. Logical operations are controlled by the circular buffers.
