Abstract: | Functionally reconfigurable general purpose parallel machines (FRPM) could be reconfigured during the operation from SIMD to MIMD mode or vice versa (first aspect) and from one interconnection network to another according to the data storing order (second aspect). General purpose machines are considered in order to obtain an arbitrary data exchange between the processing elements they are built of. A model for describing such interconnection networks is presented. A full-information exchange network in introduced which is reconfigurable in a programming way to tree-, matrix-, cube-, linear-neighbourhood and FFT-network. Some schemes for constructing SIMD/MIMD reconfigurable machines are given. The usefullness of using FRMP for image processing and pattern recognition is discussed. |
