摘要
An array processing chip has been developed integrating 128 bit-serial processing elements (PE‘s) on a single die. Each PE has a 16-function logic unit, a single-bit adder, a 32-b variable-length shift register, and 1 kb of local RAM. Logic in each PE provides the capability to individually mask PE's. A modified grid interconnection scheme allows each PE to comniunicate to each of its eight nearest neighbors. A 32-b bus is used to transfer data to and from the array in a single cycle. Instruction execution is pipelined, enabling all instructions to be executed in a single cycle. The 1µm CMOS design contains over 1.1 million transistors on an 11.0-mm × 11.7-mm die. © 1990 IEEE
