1. An adaptive computing engine, comprising:

  • a configurable logic unit comprising a first plurality of heterogeneous computational elements and a first interconnection network coupling the first plurality of heterogeneous computational elements to each other, the first plurality of heterogeneous computational elements comprising a first type of heterogeneous computational element for performing a first operation and a second type of heterogeneous computational element for performing a second, operation, wherein the second operation is different from the first operation;

    a configurable processing unit comprising a second plurality of heterogeneous computational elements at least two of which perform an arithmetic operation dedicated to digital signal processing and each having components in a fixed architecture with fixed connections between the components, the configurable processing unit configurable to perform a digital signal processing function; and

    wherein the configurable logic unit is configurable to perform a function via changing interconnections of the first interconnection network between the first plurality of heterogeneous computational elements.
