1. An electronic computer for manipulating data comprising: a control unit; a working storage unit for storing information including data and program instructions; a first group of working registers; a second group of work registers; a logic-arithmetic unit comprising a plurality of different independent functional network units for performing different operations on said data, each having input and output terminals and each being coupled to said control unit; a first distributing channel circuit means for connecting said first group of work registers to the input terminals of each of said functional network units; a second distributing channel circuit means for connecting said second group of work registers to each of said functional network units; a collector channel circuit connecting the output terminals of each of said functional units to said first group of working registers; a plurality of decoding networks connected to the output terminals of at least a number of said functional units for signaling the results of certain ones of said different operations and a plurality of gate circuit means connecting said input terminals of each of said functional units to said first and second channel distribution circuit means, said gate circuit means being connected to be enabled selectively by said control unit for transferring simultaneously the same data from one of said working registers to at least a pair of said independent functional units conditioned by said control unit for performing different operations thereon during the processing of one of said program instructions, said pair including one of said number of units having its output terminals connected to a corresponding one of said decoding networks.
