1. An adaptive integrated circuit for performing a plurality of media functional modes of a communications standard, the integrated circuit comprising:

  • a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, each of the heterogeneous plurality of computational elements performing an arithmetic operation and having an architecture having a layout with fixed hardware components, the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements having computational element having at least two different architectures; and

    an interconnection network coupled to the heterogeneous plurality of computational elements, the interconnection network changing interconnections between at least some of the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements to configure the computational elements to perform a first media functional mode, and the interconnection network further changing the interconnections between at least some of the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements to reconfigure the computational elements to perform a second, different, media functional mode.
