....a large register file, and communication all on a single VLSI component. By providing support for both computation and communication, iWarp is a suitable target for program development tools and forms the core of building blocks for high performance, application specific, computing systems [Baxter, et al. 90] 2 Program development tools There are two aspects to programming: the development, preparation, and maintenance of programs, and the execution of programs on the target system. The former requires a tool chain; the latter, a suitable execution environment. CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY FINAL ....

....1990 95 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT TOOLS 7 area, instead of having to be done again for each hand written program. We have developed such tools for two important applications areas for iWarp, namely signal and image processing. 2.1. 1 A program development tool for signal processing As discussed in [Baxter, et al. 90] digital signal processing (DSP) includes a large class of programs that can be represented as flow graphs: Sensor data flows into one or more nodes, and then a series of operations are done, with the processed data flowing from node to node. We developed a tool, called ASSIGN, for building large ....

....code, where the user specifies what each processor is doing, including any needed communications and synchronization. Languages for such programming e.g. parallel extensions of languages such as PASCAL [25] or C [15] or languages designed for parallel programming such as OCCAM [8] ADAPT [5], and APPLY [5] typically contain constructs to express the operations necessary for execution on a parallel machine. Such programming offers the potential of generating code that makes excellent use of the resources of the parallel architecture. However, this method places an enormous burden on ....

Advances in Computers, Academic Press, Vol. 33, 2 in Warp [AnA87,MeK89,BaC90] can serve several virtual channels capable of communication among neighboring cells. This is also the case for algorithm specific linear arrays but, for design simplicity, each link may be used to transfer only a data item instead of being multiplexed among several of them. In this paper, we ....
