Software Techniques for Non-Von Neumann Architectures
Abstract
This report examines the use of non-sequential (Non-von Neumann) technology for the support of command and control applications. It has become apparent that the utilization of traditional von-Neumann computers is insufficient of many applications. The utilization of Non-von Neumann Architectures is needed to satisfy these computational requirements. In order to assess the utility of Non-von Neumann Architectures, three tasks were performed: 1) A comprehensive survey of existing Non-von Neumann Architectures and development of a new taxonomy, classifying Non-von Neumann Architectures according to structure and capability; 2) Based on the architecture survey and classification scheme, a determination of how these architectures are currently applied as well as their potential use in C3I applications was made; 3) An assessment of how these Non-von Neumann based architectures can be utilized over the entire system and software life cycle.
