Titre français : Une carte massivement parallèle SIMD programmable
Titre anglais : A massively parallel programmable SIMD board
Abstract : In this paper we present the massively parallel RAPID-2 board and his programming model. RAPID-2 is a massively parallel SIMD board (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) to be used as an accelerating board for PC computer. It uses two kind of VLSI components designed in our laboratory with the Alliance CAD Tools.
The L1 programming language has been developed for the board. It is based on a programming model briefly described in this paper. This language is an extension of the C language with support for SIMD operation. From a program written in L1, a compiler will produce an application program in C language for the PC and a microprogram for the accelerating board. The compiler allow the co-design of the C code and of the micro-code.
