Charles L. Seitz · CaltechAUTHORS (California Institute of Technology) · 1989
ObjectivesThe central theme of this research is the architecture and design of VLSI systems appropriate to a microcircuit technology scaled to submicron feature sizes.Our work is focused on VLSI architecture experiments that involve the design, construction, programming, and use of experimental message-passing concurrent computers, and includes related efforts in concurrent computation and VLSI design. Highlights• Mosaic prototype approaching completion (2.1).• Delivery of 2nd-generation multicomputers (2.2)• Programming with composition (3.3)• First asynchronous microprocessor (4.1).• Fast self-timed mesh routing chips (4.2).
