disclosed in Edelman in that both result in the processing
element having a different address. With respect to Robinson,
it is urged that the reference discloses a system for
generating a program to enable use of one or more tools for
performing rearrangement of data. In support of this
position, the examiner draws attention to Robinson’s
disclosure at column 1, line 37, et seq., wherein a program is
generated to use the interface modules which perform the
rearrangement of the data, and column 7, line 44, et seq.
Lastly, the observations are made that neither generation of a
program in response to an initial address bit ordering and a
final address bit ordering nor automatic generation of a

After consideration of the positions and arguments
presented by both the examiner and the appellants, we have
concluded that the rejection should not be sustained. The
