METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING OPERANDS IN PROCESSOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G06F9/38 G06F11/16 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to poly-nuclear architecture processors. The device contains at least two execution units which are in form of arithmetic-logic devices (ALU A, ALU B), operating at a given clock frequency, a control unit, connected to the arithmetic-logic devices and to extra units for inputting operands and interacting with the units for inputting operands such that, similar operands are input into two arithmetic-logic devices when operating in the first mode. Different operands are input into two arithmetic-logic devices when operating in the second mode. The control unit can control both arithmetic-logic devices when processing operands in the first mode using similar control signals, and using different control signals when processing operands in the second mode. There is a switching processor between the first and second modes of operation.

EFFECT: more functional capabilities of the device due to operation of the processor in combined mode.
