GENERAL-PURPOSE PARALLEL COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

摘要

An apparatus includes multiple parallel computing cores, where each computing core is configured to perform one or more processing operations and generate input data. The apparatus also includes multiple parallel coprocessors associated with each computing core. The apparatus further includes multiple communication lines configured to transport the input data from each computing core to a designated one of the coprocessors associated with each of the computing cores, where the coprocessors are configured to process the input data and generate output data. In addition, the apparatus includes multiple reducer circuits, where each computing core is associated with one of the reducer circuits. Each reducer circuit is configured to receive the output data from each of the coprocessors of the associated computing core, to apply one or more functions to the output data, and to provide one or more results to the associated computing core.
