The invention concerns a computer system with at least one microprocessor and a coprocessor, the coprocessor (COP) being hardware configured so that the function performed by the coprocessor is adjustable in dependence on the program to be executed. The coprocessor is made up of functional units which each can execute one function and programmable wiring channels which permit a connection to be established between each functional unit and the microprocessor. When an application program is executed, it is thus possible to configure one or more coprocessors according to the program code and hence accelerate program execution.
