Abstract

Architecture and custom circuit design of a multiprocessor chip for signal and image processing have been developed. Mappings of digital image processing and neural network algorithms are presented. The processor design supports the execution of key signal processing functions. The processing elements can be connected in a 1-D linear ring or 2-D systolic mesh array. A microprogrammed controller is used to enhance the processor performance. Each processor occupies 4.1 mm2 by using an industrial-scalc 0.5-μm CMOS technology from TRW, Inc. Sixty-four processing elements can be implemented in a 1.5 x 1.8-cm2 chip and achieves 2.56 billion calculations per second.
