Trends in design of massively parallel coprocessors implemented in digital ASICs
Péter Földesy · 2005
This paper collects the most recent parallel coprocessors and highlights the recent trends. It is shown that the single chip massively parallel processor implementations seem to disappear from the scientific investigations (with the exception of low-level near-sensor image processing). Meanwhile, the formerly developed architectures have moved inside complex system-on-chips/microprocessors. The common aspect of the recent architectures is the advanced processing element and internal interconnection solutions, and the dominant mid-grain parallelism (i.e. up to a hundred processing element per chip).
