Abstract

The availability of microprocessors in large quantities at amazingly low prices moves the break-even point for some traditional trade-offs between hardware and execution time into the direction of more hardware and towards systems with multiple microprocessors. The following scheme allows considerable execution-time speed-up at the cost of redundant hardware.
