Parallelism through Digital Circuit Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Two ways to exploit chips with a very large number of transistors are multicore processors and programmable logic chips. Some data parallel algorithms can be executed efficiently on ordinary parallel computers, including multicores. A class of data parallel algorithms is identified which have characteristics that make implementation on multiprocessors inefficient, but they are well suited for direct design as digital circuits. This leads to a programming model called circuit parallelism. The characteristics of circuit parallel algorithms are discussed, and a prototype system for supporting them is described.

Algorithms that contain computations that can be executed simultaneously, offer possibilities of exploiting the parallelism present by implementing them on appropriate hardware, such as a multiprocessor system or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Many digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms contain internal parallelism and are besides meant to be repeated infinitely (or a la...
