Abstract :
This paper suggests a novel architecture for a reconfigurable accelerator for computations over discrete vectors. The number of executed operations is limited but they can arbitrarily be chosen from a practically unlimited set of feasible operations. The software model and hardware implementations of the accelerator are discussed in detail.
