Abstract
An execution unit for a processing engine comprising first head part circuitry for deriving an intermediate signal from an input signal. The execution unit also comprises further circuitry which receives the intermediate signal and operates on it to produce a final signal. The further circuitry is typically configured to perform one or more signal processing functions in combination with the first circuitry, and generally comprises separate circuitry for each function. The intermediate signal is configured to be usable by each of the separate circuitry.
