Abstract

A system for processing applications includes processor nodes and links interconnecting the processor nodes. Each node includes a processing element, a software extensible device, and a communication interface. The processing element executes at least one of the applications. The software extensible device provides additional instructions to a set of standard instructions for the processing element. The communication interface communicates with other processor nodes.
