Everything about Bit slicing

Method of constructing a computer processor

Bit slicing is a technique for constructing a processor from modules of processors of smaller bit width, for the purpose of increasing the word length; in theory to make an arbitrary n-bit central processing unit (CPU). Each of these component modules processes one bit field or slice of an operand. The grouped processing components would then have the capability to process the chosen full word-length of a given software design. Wikipedia →
