Finite difference programs and array processors. [High-speed floating point processing by coupling host computer to programable array processor]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7211554
An alternative to maxi computers for high-speed floating-point processing capabilities is the coupling of a host computer to a programable array processor. This paper compares the performance of two finite difference programs on various computers and their expected performance on commercially available array processors. The significance of balancing array processor computation, host-array processor control traffic, and data transfer operations is emphasized. 3 figures, 1 table.
