Abstract
According to one embodiment, a processing circuit is described including a first input path and a second input path, a processing element configured to receive a first input bit and a second input bit via the first input path and the second input path and configured to perform a logic operation which is commutative with respect to the first input bit and the second input bit and a sorter configured to distribute the first input bit and the second input bit to the first input path and the second input path according to a predetermined sorting rule.
Claims19
A processing circuit, comprising:
- a first input path and a second input path;
- a processing element configured to receive a first input bit and a second input bit via the first input path and the second input path and configured to perform a logic operation which is commutative with respect to the first input bit and the second input bit;
- and
- a sorter configured to distribute the first input bit and the second input bit to the first input path and the second input path according to a predetermined sorting rule.
A method for operating a processing circuit, the method comprising:
- distributing a first input bit and a second input bit according to a predetermined sorting rule to a first input path and a second input path to a processing element for receiving the first input bit and the second input bit via the first input path and the second input path and for performing a logic operation which is commutative with respect to the first input bit and the second input bit.
