In the last few years a number of start-up companies have announced massively parallel processors for embedded DSP applications. With their arrays of processing elements, these processors target ...

While MIMD processors have their shortcomings for processing data in parallel, they are very well suited for processing steps that can be parallelized on the thread level, but not on the data level.

A microchip containing 1,000 independent programmable processors has been designed by a team at the University of California, Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The ...

Embedded Java implementations run up against performance problems because of the stack structures the language requires. Java implements a stack-based programming model, in which two stacks are ...
