Abstract :
Multicore and many core processors are the new wave of computing, offering high performance by using large numbers of simple processors. In this paper, we describe the implementation of 2 applications into an Ambric massively parallel processor array from a hardware design point of view. An evaluation of performance and design effort is provided, showing that massive parallel processor arrays may challenges FPGAs in some applications.
