Abstract

The most effective use of mesh-connected array processors is achieved by paying careful attention to the organization of data. Storage and movement of the elements of multidimensional arrays of data within a multidimensional store for a particular problem is a difficult task, often handled in an ad hoc way. For an important class of problems, considerable conceptual simplification arises from considering a specification of the mapping rather than the physical location of data.
