Abstract
The massively parallel layout engine, MAPLE, an SIMD computer that provides very high computing power for CAD applications, is discussed. MAPLE uses up to 64K processors, each having a 32-kB memory, a 512-b data register, and an ALU. The system clock rate is 20 MHz. 64K processors in parallel produce an aggregate of 40-billion 32-b integer additions per second. Parallel routing, the architecture, and the software are covered.<>
