Invited Papers to be presented at WoTUG-19
Hardware for Transputing without Transputers
- Speaker:
- Paul Walker
- Company:
- 4Links for technical help
- Abstract:
- Transputing without transputers is mostly concerned with
porting software to make other processors behave like
transputers. This paper describes hardware which provides
interprocessor (DS-)link communications to interface with
processor boards that have a bus which adheres to the PCI
specification.
The ST20450 - Design Overview
- Speaker:
- Rob Simpson
- Company:
- SGS-Thomson Microelectronics
- Abstract:
- This talk describes some of the motivation and rationale
behind the design and implementation of the ST20450
processor. It is the first of a family of chips to be based
upon the ST20 micro-core, which is itself a thoroughly
re-engineered implementation of the T4 series
transputer.
Multiprocessing with the SHARC
- Speaker:
- (to be arranged)
- Company:
- Analogue Devices
- Abstract:
- The Analogue Devices SHARC processor is currently
generating considerable interest not only as a
high-performance Digital Signal Processor, but also as a
processing element for parallel systems and graphics engines.
The ADSP21060 includes 4Mbit of fast SRAM, a 120MFLOPS
processor, high speed link ports, and other hardware support
for multiprocessing. Multiple SHARC systems can efficiently
support a range of programming approaches (SIMD, SPMD,
MIMD).
