Abstract
A single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) array processor for processing multi-dimensional node meshes that are either elongated or not elongated in at least one coordinate direction. The SIMD array processor includes a plurality of processor arrays interconnected to form an N-dimensional array. Each processor array in the N-dimensional array is connected to 2N data I/O paths for communicating with 2N processor arrays in the N-dimensional array. Each processor array conceptually located at an interior point of the N-dimensional array is connected to 2N dimensionally adjacent processor arrays in the N-dimensional array. Each processor array conceptually located at one of at least one pair of dimensionally opposite boundaries of the N-dimensional array is connected to fewer than 2N dimensionally adjacent processor arrays and at least one processor array conceptually located at the dimensionally opposing boundary.
