Abstract:
A method and apparatus for computation is provided. A main cluster crossbar is connected to a plurality of statically scheduled routing processors. A first sub-cluster crossbar is associated with a first one of the plurality of statically scheduled routing processors where the first sub-cluster crossbar is connected to a first plurality of execution processors. A second sub-cluster crossbar is associated with a second one of the plurality of statically scheduled routing processors where the second sub-cluster crossbar is connected to a second plurality of execution processors.
