US Patent 8065249 GPSTP with enhanced aggregation functionality

A general purpose set theoretic processor is enhanced 1) by providing multi-function counters in stead of down-counters, 2) by internalizing the composite Boolean Logic function by introducing a two stage (two matrix) programmable composite Boolean Logic functionality wherein the first stage yields logical products of selected aggregation logic responses (or their complements) and the second stage yields logical sums of selected sets of those logical products, and 3) by providing internal selective re-initialization by means of a re-initialization routing matrix functionality that directs logical sums of Composite Boolean Logic sums of products to selected GPSTP cells to be re-initialized.
