UF/sup 3/-a 4-D DSP hypercube with a robust programming environment

Abstract

The UF/sup 3/ is a 4-D hypercube multiprocessor system which is integrated with an innovative programming environment. The architecture of UF/sup 3/ contains fully programmable nodes which allow use of the system to address problems with arbitrary entities. The self-scheduling programming environment of UF/sup 3/ uses its bottom-up approach to balance the workload among the processors. The architecture provides the digital signal processor (DSP) community with a high-bandwidth general-purpose accelerator array having a high degree of computational accuracy and a robust programming environment. The principal application of the UF/sup 3/ is serving the numerically intensive computational needs of the DSP community.<>
