Abstract

See full text

A multi-dimensional processor cell and processor array with massively parallel input/output includes a processor array having a plurality of processor cells interconnected to form an N-dimensional array. The system includes a first group of processor cells having 2N dimensionally adjacent processor cells. At least one input/output device is connected to a surplus data signal port of a second group of processor cells each having fewer than 2N dimensionally adjacent processor cells, for providing massively parallel input/output between the multi-dimensional processor array and the input/output device. The processor system also includes a front end processor for providing processor array instructions in response to application programs running on the front end processor. A processor cell controller, responsive to the processor array commands, broadcasts a sequence of processor cell instructions to all of the processor cells of the multi-dimensional processor array.
