SIMD Array Processors

SIMD-1 Array Processor

SIMD-1 is a HASE simulation model of a simple 1-dimensional Array processor designed for use in virtual laboratory exercises in computer architecture or introductory parallel programming (a suggested student exercise is included in the website). It consists of a Memory, an Array Control Unit and the 1-dimensional array of simple processing elements.

The SIMD-1 Array Processor website describes the architecture and instruction sets of the ACU and the processing elements. The files for SIMD-1 can be downloaded from simd1.tar.gz

SIMD-2 Array Processor

SIMD-2 is a HASE simulation model of a simple 2-dimensional Array processor designed for use in virtual laboratory exercises in computer architecture or introductory parallel programming (a suggested student exercise is included in the website). It consists of a Memory, an Array Control Unit and the 2-dimensional array of simple processing elements.

The SIMD-2 Array Processor website describes the architecture and instruction sets of the ACU and the processing elements. The files for SIMD-2 can be downloaded from simd2.tar.gz

Instructions on how to use HASE models can be found at Downloading, Installing and Using HASE.
