Abstract
A computer architecture employs multiple intercommunicating tiles each holding an array of memory elements. Programmable decoding circuitry allows these memory elements to be used as local memories (including content addressable memories or random access memories), logic elements or interconnect elements. The ability to dynamically change the function of any of these tiles allows tight integration of memory and logic tailored to particular calculation problems reducing costs in data transfer.
