Abstract
The present invention discloses a configurable processor with a backside look-up table. The configurable processor comprises a look-up table circuit (LUT) on the backside of the processor substrate and an arithmetic logic circuit (ALC) on the front side of the processor substrate. The LUT stores data related to a desired function. The ALC performs arithmetic operations on the data read out from the LUT.
