Patent attributes
A processing device includes a two-dimensional array of processing elements, each processing element including an arithmetic logic unit to perform an operation. The device further includes interconnections among the two-dimensional array of processing elements to provide direct communication among neighboring processing elements of the two-dimensional array of processing elements. A processing element of the two-dimensional array of processing elements is connected to a first neighbor processing element that is immediately adjacent the processing element in a first dimension of the two-dimensional array. The processing element is further connected to a second neighbor processing element that is immediately adjacent the processing element in a second dimension of the two-dimensional array.
