1. A Field Programmable Gate Array integrated circuit comprising:

  • a multi-dimensional configurable cell structure including a plurality of configurable cells; and

    a configurable interconnect connecting the configurable cells;

    wherein each of at least one of the cells is a data processing circuit that is hard-wired within the Field Programmable Gate Array and includes;

    at least two input ports, each being at least 4-bit wide;

    at least one output port being at least 4-bit wide;

    at least one multiplier hardware unit arranged for receiving an input from the at least two input ports and for providing an output to the at least one output port; and

    circuitry that couples the at least two input ports and the at least one output port to the configurable interconnect.
