Provided is a microprocessor optimized for algorithmic processing for accelerating algorithm processing through a closely coupled set of parallel sub-processing elements. The device includes a primary processor, one or more subprocessors and an interconnecting buss. The buss is preferably a crossbar buss. The primary processor is preferably a pipelined CPU with additional logic to support algorithm processing. The crossbar buss allows the data memory to function as the data memory in the CPU, and provides paths to configure and initialize the algorithm subprocessors and to retrieve results from the subprocessors. The subprocessors are processing elements that execute segments of code on blocks of data. Preferably, the subprocessors are reconfigurable to optimize performance for the algorithm being executed.
