Abstract

In this paper, a prototype Wavefront Array Processor based on the NEC μPD7281 dataflow chip is presented. The interconnections of this array are reconfigurable and its processor addressing scheme permits construction of very large arrays. The programming methodology and high level language are presented. These, facilitate the expression and mapping of linear algebra and signal/image processing algorithms on this array. To illustrate the performance and programming of this machine some indicative applications are discussed.
