Overview of Enhanced Data Stream Array Processor (EDSAP)

Abstract

The Enhanced Data Stream Array Processor (EDSAP) is a scalable version of the DSAP processing architecture that will allow massively parallel processing. Lincoln Laboratory previously designed two generations of DSAP processors; these programmable signal/data processors provide very high throughput in small, lightweight packages that require low power use. The EDSAP design builds upon the DSAP architecture in a way that provides for processing in the gigaop (billion operations per second) to teraop (trillion operations per second) range. This capability is being accomplished primarily by a significant redesign of high-speed I/O and interprocessor communication. Other architectural improvements, as well as rapid technological advances, contribute to the improved processor. This report provides an overview of the architecture of the EDSAP. The first EDSAP board is expected to be available in late 1993.
