Abstract

An apparatus relates generally to time sharing of an arithmetic unit. In such an apparatus, a controller is coupled to provide read pointers and write pointers. A memory block is coupled to receive the read pointers and the write pointers. A selection network is coupled to the memory block and the arithmetic unit. The memory block includes a write-data network, a read-data network, and memory banks.
