ABSTRACT (Fig. 1) APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING PARALLEL PROCESSING A large number of processor cells 11, the majority of which are standard cells 12 and others special cells 13, are connected to a communication network 14 in the form of several binary trees. The cells 11 are connected at the leaf positions of the binary trees, and the nodes of the binary trees are formed by switching circuits that allow individual cells to control the formation of signal paths through the nodes. In operation, cells may be in a waiting state, a free state, a calling state, searching state, a communicating state, or an internal operation state. Cells 12 in the free state transmit a free signal into the network 14. Cells 12 or 13 in a searching state transmit a searching signal into the network 14 where, on meeting a free signal at a node, a route is formed from the searching state cell to a free state cell. A calling state cell 12 establishes, with a calling signal, a route through the network 14 to another cell identified by destination information in the calling signal. Cells 11 in the waiting state are waiting to be called by a cell 12 in the calling state. Expressions, in the form of lambda expressions, to be reduced to a final result are so distributed through groups of the cells 11 that only primitive operations and communication need be carried out by the cells 11.
