ManArray Processor Interconnection Network: An Introduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper introduces the new interconnection network of the BOPS ManArray family of available core products. To form a ManArray network, the processing elements are completely connected within clusters and communicate with members of only two other clusters thereby reducing signal fan-out and wiring density. With this simple network, single-step communications between a hypercube and its compliment node, single-step transpose operations, and a diameter of 2 are achieved.

The ManArray( Embedded Processor Architecture
The BOPS ManArray architecture is presented as a coprocessor platform for the embedded processor domain, consisting of scalable design points. As an array processor, a single architecture definition and tool set supports multiple configurations of processing elements (PEs) from low end single PE to large arrays of PEs. The ManArray selectable parallelism architecture mixes control-oriented oper...
متن کاملHigh-performance FFT implementation on the BOPS ManArray parallel DSP
We present a high performance implementation of the FFT algorithm on the BOPS ManArray parallel DSP processor. The ManArray we consider for this application consists of an array controller and 2 to 4 fully interconnected processing elements. To expose the parallelism inherent to an FFT algorithm we use a factorization of the DFT matrix in Kronecker products, permutation and diagonal matrices. O...

متن کاملEnergy Savings with Appropriate Interconnection Networks in Parallel DSP
This paper presents an instruction level power model for a very long instructions word (VLIW) single instruction multiple data (SIMD) digital signal processor (DSP). We show that power consuming memory accesses can be reduced in such SIMD processor architectures with an appropriate network connecting the parallel register files and/or data paths. Several network topologies are analyzed for a va...
متن کامل1 Feedforward Neural Networks : an Introduction
1 A neural network is a massively parallel distributed processor that has a natural propensity for storing experiential knowledge and making it available for use. It resembles the brain in two respects (Haykin 1998): 1. Knowledge is acquired by the network through a learning process. 2. Interconnection strengths known as synaptic weights are used to store the knowledge. Basically, learning is a...
