<p>A parallel vector processor (PVP) is described which can be implemented on a single silicon die or multiple dies using single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) or multiple-instruction multiple data (MIMD) architecture containing at leat one data processor with at least one data stream coupled thereto for inputting data and removing results. The PVP apparatus can be incorporated in any suitable communication network topology. In one arrangement this is achieved most readily by providing the parallel vector processor on a single a chip using single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD architecture) containing a plurality of data processors organised into a pipeline with an input/output stream for supplying the processors with data and to remove the results. Although a single input/output stream can be used it is desirable to use at least two streams to facilitate optimum performance. The PVP has applications in neural networks, pattern recognition and a variety of signal processing applications.</p> |
