Abstract
A multiprocessor having an input/output controller, a process controller, and a multidimensional arrays of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), each FPGA having its own local memory. The multiprocessor may be programmed to function as a single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) parallel processor having a matrix of processing elements (PEs), where each FPGA may be programmed to operate as a submatrix array of PEs. The multiprocessor is especially useful for image processing, pattern recognition, and neural network applications.
