Microsupercomputers: Design and Implementation

Abstract

Executive Summary: (1) Parallel Processor Architecture -- The primary focus of our architecture effort has been on completing the design of DASH and starting the construction of the prototype; (2) Parallel Software -- We are building a compiler system that supports our research in a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from advanced scalar optimizations to parallel loop transformations and code scheduling for multiprocessors and superscalar processors; (3) Uniprocessor Architecture -- We have continued our work on investigating efficient methods of extracting the parallelism available at the lowest-level, by issuing multiple instruction per cycle; (4) Computer-Aided Design -- Recent research has been focusing on partitioning techniques at the behavioral-level of abstraction; (5) VLSI Design -- During this period we have continued our work in high-speed BiCMOS circuits.
