The Pasm Parallel Processing System: Design, Simulation, and Image Processing Applications. Volume 1

Abstract

Advances in device and packaging technologies are producing incremental gains in the performance of computer systems. However, these gains are being more than offset by new applications having a need to process large data sets, a need real-time computation, or other requirements which make them prohibitively expensive to perform on conventional computer systems. This has forced computer architects to consider parallel/distributed computer designs. In Part I of this thesis, the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of existing and proposed parallel computer designs are examined. These characteristics are used to motivate and support the design decisions made for a particular parallel computer architecture, PASM. It is PASM that is the primary focus of the work in this thesis.
