Abstract
A data processing device includes a data processing unit including a plurality of elements and wiring groups that connect the plurality of elements, wherein respective elements in the plurality of elements include: a logic element; an acquisition unit that switches on and off an input side of the logic element for any wire out of the wiring groups on a cycle-by-cycle basis to latch input data; and a post unit that switches on and off an output side of the logic element for any wire out of the wiring groups on a cycle-by-cycle basis, and the data processing unit also includes a timing control unit that controls logic executed by the logic element and functions of the acquisition unit and the post unit on a cycle-by-cycle basis.

1-15. (canceled)
A device comprising:
- a plurality of channels that are laid out in two dimensions or in three dimensions and are reconfigurable on a cycle-by-cycle basis;
- and
- a plurality of logic elements that are accessible to a part of the plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of logic elements is configured to access on a part of the plurality of channels independently to acquire or to output data on a cycle-by-cycle basis and to carry out processing on the data with independent logic.
A processing method of a device that includes a plurality of channels laid out in two dimensions or in three dimensions, and a plurality of logic elements accessible to a part of the plurality of channels, the method includes:
- reconfiguring a part of the plurality of channels on a cycle-by-cycle basis;
- accessing one of the plurality of logic elements on a part of the plurality of channels independently to acquire or to output data on a cycle-by-cycle basis;
- and
- carrying out processing on the data with independent logic.
