A parallel array processor for massively parallel applications is formed with low power CMOS with DRAM processing while incorporating processing elements on a single chip. Eight processors on a single
In subject area: Computer Science A memory array is defined as a two-dimensional array of memory cells used in digital systems to efficiently store large amounts of data. It consists of rows and columns where each row, known as a word, contains data that can be read or written based on...
In FIG. 9, the ASAOUT 65 receives the results from the arithmetic array processor at a peak of one per cycle and an average rate that depends on the size of each neural network layer or convolution window, but is no greater than half the input rate. As the window size of the feed...
After some considerations about the requirements that any hardware implementation of neural networks should meet, an array processor architecture is proposed which not only allows us to exploit the data parallelism that neural networks hold but is also easy to programme. As an example of the usefulne...
A massively parallel diagonal-fold mesh array processor provides a triangular diagonally folded mesh computer with the same functionality as a square mesh computer but with half the number of connection wires. The diagonal-fold mesh array processor is modified in this invention to provide a more gen...
For example, some computer systems allow the main processor chip to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the processor is said to be replaceable. Another example is a power supply package mounted on sliding rails. All removable packages are inherently replaceable. This ...
The processor requires aRAMmemory, with an address register (MAR) and a data register (MDR). There therefore needs to be a load signal for each of these registers: MDR_load and MAR_load. As it is a memory, there also needs to be an enable signal (M_en), and also a signal to den...
Withsoftware-based RAID, the controller uses the resources of the hardware system, such as the central processor unit (CPU) and memory. While it performs the same functions as a hardware-based RAID controller, software-based RAID controllers may not enable as much of a performance boost and ca...
In Part 1, we propose a VLAP called Reconfigurable GIPOP Processor Array (RGPA). The RGPA is made up of high performance processing elements called the Generalized Inner Product Outer Product (GIPOP) processor. Unlike the traditional special/general purpose processors, ours has a totally ...
A folded memory array structure that can be used with a folded processor array structure to make cosine transform calculations faster and more efficient. The memory elements of the folded memory array
