Communicating Process Architecture for Multicores

摘要

Communicating process architecture can be used to build efficient multi-core chips scaling to hundreds of processors. Concurrent processing, communications and input-output are supported directly by the instruction set of the cores and by the protocol used in the on-chip interconnect. Concurrent programs are compiled directly to the chip exploiting novel compiler optimisations. The architecture supports a variety of programming techniques, ranging from statically configured process networks to dynamic reconfiguration and mobile processes.
