Abstract A processor with three concurrent and data-shared execution units is described in detail in this paper. The functionality, resources, and data sizes of the execution units, implemented with Xilinx FPGA chips, are user-configurable in order to best fit the application being run. A Harvard-type architecture allows a very large instruction word (128 bits) and, therefore, a real parallel utilization and control of resources. We also present the results of the implementation of two applications, the game of Life and the Abingdon Cross benchmark.
