1. A method of transmitting data streams between (a) a reconfigurable processor device including an at least two-dimensional matrix of configurable elements having arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and (b) devices that are external to the reconfigurable processor device, the method comprising:
- using at least one address generator, generating addresses according to which the external data streams are addressed; and
at least one of;
(a) buffering write data streams by storing output write addresses and corresponding output write data in a FIFO memory system; and
(b) buffering read data streams by storing output read addresses and input read data in the FIFO memory system.

Abstract
At the inputs and/or outputs, memories are assigned to a reconfigurable module to achieve decoupling of internal data processing and in particular decoupling of the reconfiguration cycles from the external data streams (to/from peripherals, memories, etc.).
