1. An adaptive computing integrated circuit configurable to perform a plurality of functions, comprising:

  • a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements; and

    an interconnection network coupled to the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, the interconnection network operative to configure the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements;

    wherein a first group of heterogeneous computational elements is configurable to form a first functional unit to implement a first function;

    wherein a second group of heterogeneous computational elements is configurable to form a second functional unit to implement a second function; and

    wherein if the second function is not currently used, one or more of the second group of heterogeneous computational elements are reconfigurable by the interconnection network to implement the first function.
