Methods and circuit for implementing and arbitrary graph on a polymorphic mesh

摘要

A single instruction multiple datastream (SIMD) polymorphic mesh network array processing system is modified by the inclusion of a single instruction multiple address (SIMA) circuit including a content addressable packet buffer memory to enable processing of an algorithm representing an arbitrary graph. Packets of address information and related data information associated with each independently addressable processing element forming the polymorphic mesh network array are transferred between the processing elements in accordance with one of a first-available method, a force transfer method, or a buffer sensitive method.
