    摘要: A parallel processor comprised of a plurality of processing nodes (10), each node including a processor (100-114) and a memory (116). Each processor includes means (100, 102) for executing instructions, logic means (114) connected to the memory for interfacing the processor with the memory and means (112) for internode communication. The internode communication means (112) connect the nodes to form a first array (8) of order n having a hypercube topology. A second array (21) of order n having nodes (22) connected together in a hypercube topology is interconnected with the first array to form an order n+l array. The order n+l array is made up of the first and second arrays of order n, such that a parallel processor system may be structured with any number of processors that is a power of two. A set of I/O processors (24) are connected to the nodes of the arrays (8, 21) by means of I/O channels (106). The means for internode communication (112) comprises a serial data channel driven by a clock that is common to all of the nodes.

    摘要: A floating point, integrated, arithmetic circuit is organized around a file format having a floating point numeric domain exceeding that of any single or double precision floating point numbers, long or short integer words or BCD data upon which it must operate. As a result the circuit has a greater reliability, range and precision than ever previously achieved without entailing additional circuit complexity. Reliability is further enhanced by a systematic three bit rounding field, and by including means for detecting every error or exception condition with an optional expected response provided thereto by hardware. As a result of such organization, an unexpected increase of capacity is achieved wherein transcendental functions can be computed totally in hardware, and whereby mixed mode arithmetic can be implemented without difficulty. The numeric processor also includes a programmable shifter capable of arbitrary numbers of bit and byte shifts in a single clock cycle, as well as an arithmetic unit capable of implementing multiplication, division, modulo reduction and square roots directly in hardware.
