Abstract

See full text

A parallel processor array of the SIMD or MIMD type requires a highly organized communication network for communication between processing elements (PEs). For a communication network a dotted network structure is created which reduces the magnitude of the the networking implementation using a link with two vertical paths and two horizontal paths for a single link, denominated H-DOT. A significant result of the H-DOT network configuration is that it applies to several topologies, and furthermore, the array of processors can generally be extended in size and in additional dimensions while retaining the basic two port array processing element. Both synchronous and routed control can be included. Routing algorithm routines are discussed. The network configuration can be used in massively parallel processors or other smaller array processors which can implement SIMD and MIMD processes.
