Определение
bit slice
<architecture> A technique for constructing a processor from
modules, each of which processes one bit-field or "slice" of
an operand. Bit slice processors usually consist of an
ALU of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits and control lines (including
carry or overflow signals usually internal to the CPU).
For example, two 4-bit ALUs could be arranged side by side,
with control lines between them, to form an 8-bit ALU. A
sequencer executes a program to provide data and control
signals.
The AMD Am2901 is an example.

Bit slicing
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.
Bit slicing more or less died out due to the advent of the microprocessor. Recently it has been used in arithmetic logic units (ALUs) for quantum computers and as a software technique, e.g. for cryptography in x86 CPUs.
