There is disclosed a multiprocessor system arranged, in one embodiment, as an image and graphics processor. The processor is structured with several individual processors all having communication links to several memories without restriction. A crossbar switch serves to establish the processor memory links. The entire image processor, including the individual processors, the crossbar switch and the memories are contained on a single silicon chip. Each processor can operate to execute the same instruction at the same time (SIMD mode) or different instructions at the same time (MIMD mode).
