Signal processing aspects of the S-1 multiprocessor project
The S-1 family of uni- and multiprocessors is an extremely-high-performance but relatively inexpensive general-purpose set of digital processing systems being developed for the most demanding National security applications. A typical S-1 system consists of from one to sixteen S-1 uniprocessors sharing up to 4 gigawords of uniformly addressed main memory. Each uniprocessor of the current (Mark IIA) generation has computational power roughy equivalent to that of a CRAY-1. This paper gives a general description of the S-1 Mark IIA uniprocessor and a somewhat more extensive discussion of its signal processing hardware and hardware-executed algorithms. The focus is a discussion of the felicitous properties of the uniprocessor components that make the S-1 system a powerful general-purpose digital signal processor. 3 figures, 3 tables.
