Summary:A hard macro device (HMD), for a subsystem (TMi) such as a data processor, comprises a processing core (C) provided with at least one time critical input terminal (CIT) adapted to feed it with time critical input data to be processed and at least one time critical output terminal (COT) adapted to deliver time critical output data it has processed. The processing core (C) is surrounded at least partly by a connecting interface zone (CIZ) comprising i) at least one input group of at least two time critical auxiliary input terminals (AITj), located at chosen locations and adapted to receive timecritical input data to be processed, and/or at least one output group of at least two time critical auxiliary output terminals (AOTk), located at chosen locations and adapted to deliver processed time critical output data, ii) an input connecting means (LO) for connecting each time critical auxiliary input terminal (AITj) of this input group to the time critical input terminal (CIT), and/or iii) an output connecting means
