Particular configurations of collections of cells within a
locally self-reconfigurable processing system to allow remote
configuration operations to be performed from within the system. The
behavior of these configurations, and how they enable remote access to
and control of non-adjacent cells is described. Also disclosed are
particular configurations which can be used to create copies of
themselves, thereby extending their area of control. Sequences of
configuration steps which use, build, modify and extend the disclosed
configurations are also described, including particular sequences useful
for building large-scale circuits within the system.
