1. A processor chip, comprising:
- a bus structure; and
a multidimensional field of cells;
wherein;
for each of at least some of the cells, a respective switch is dedicated to the respective cell for dynamically establishing an interconnection over the bus structure and between the respective cell and another of the cells, data being transferable from a transmitting one of the interconnected cells to a receiving one of the interconnected cells via the interconnection;
the processor chip is adapted for at least one of the transmitting and receiving cells to automatically verify a validity of the interconnection; and
the interconnection is established conditional upon the verification of the validity.
