Abstract

A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in multiple modules. The circuit arrangement is configured to provide a clock as well as a time base and/or a base of at least one further physical quantity for each of the multiple modules. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit, which is connected to several of the multiple modules. Via the central routing unit, the modules can periodically exchange data based on the time base and/or on the base of the at least one further physical quantity. The several modules are configured to process data independently of and in parallel to other modules of the several modules.
