A cache architecture for an array of identical cores arranged in a grid. Each of the cores include interconnections to neighboring cores in the grid, a memory, and an algorithmic logic unit. A first core of the array is configured to receive a memory access request for data from at least one core of the array of cores configured to perform a computational operation. A second core of the array is configured to determine whether the requested data is present in a cache memory via a cache index including addresses in the cache memory. A third core of the array is configured as the cache memory. The memory of the third core is used as the cache memory. An address of the requested data from the cache index is passed to the third core to output the requested data.

Cache architecture for a massively parallel processing array

Systems and methods for reconfiguring a reduced instruction set computer processor architecture are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: provide a primary processing core consisting of a RISC processor; provide a node wrapper associated with each of the plurality of secondary cores, the node wrapper comprising access memory associates with each secondary core, and a load/unload matrix associated with each secondary core; operate the architecture in a manner in which, for at least one core, data is read from and written to the at least cache memory in a control-centric mode; the secondary cores are selectively partitioned to operate in a streaming mode wherein data streams out of the corresponding secondary core into the main memory and other ones of the plurality of secondary cores.
