Abstract

The LDF 100 is a large grain dataflow parallel processor. The systems is designed to be incrementally expandable from 10 to over 128 processing elements. To avoid memory contention or prohibitive cost, the LDF 100 uses a distributed memory architecture. The LDF 100 also supports parallelism in the processing element. Each processing element consists of two microprocessors. One microprocessor is responsible for collecting data from the dataflow bus and one microprocessor is responsible for application execution.
