Abstract :
We developed an application specific multi-processor generation system intended for realtime applications. In this system, we adopted a distributed memory type multi-processor architecture with hierarchical tree network as a configurable multiprocessor which can be adapted to various scale systems flexibly. We have also developed a configurable multi-processor prototype as LSI chips with the 0.18 mum CMOS standard cell technology
