1. A configurable computing element, comprising:
- a semiconductor substrate including transistors thereon;
at least first and second three-dimensional printed memory (3D-P) arrays stacked above said semiconductor substrate, wherein said first 3D-P array stores at least a first portion of a first look-up table (LUT) for a first basic function, and said second 3D-P array stores at least a second portion of a second LUT for a second basic function;
at least an internal configurable interconnect coupling with said first and second 3D-P arrays, wherein said configurable computing element selectively realizes said first or second basic function depending upon at least a configuration signal on said internal configurable interconnect.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a configurable computing array based on three-dimensional printed memory (3D-P). It comprises an array of configurable computing elements, an array of configurable logic elements and a plurality of configurable interconnects. Each configurable computing element can selectively realize a basic function in a math library. It comprises a plurality of 3D-P arrays storing the look-up tables (LUT) for the basic functions in the math library.
