Abstract
A configurable processing core includes a configuration module and a plurality of functional blocks, each including a millimeter wave (MMW) transceiver. The configuration module is operable to determine configuration of at least some of the plurality of functional blocks based on at least one instruction of an algorithm, generate a configuration signal in accordance with the determined configuration, and transmit the configuration signal to the at least some of the plurality of functional blocks via the MMW transceivers. The at least some of the plurality of functional blocks are operable to configure in accordance with the configuration signal to support execution of the at least one instruction.
