Array architectures for iterative algorithms
Article Abstract:
Regular mesh-connected arrays are analyzed and found to be isomorphic to a class of regular iterative algorithms, and the method by which algorithms can be translated into arrays is demonstrated as systematic. Several generally recognized systolic arrays are demonstrated to be specific cases of the types of architectures that can be derived by techniques presented, including arrays for Fourier transform, matrix multiplication, and sorting. The technique can be fully automated, produces multiple choices for algorithms, allows regularly iterative algorithms to be mapped into fixed-size mesh-connected processor arrays, and handles a large class of algorithms.

Task-Oriented Architectures
Article Abstract:
The factory of the future is a concept of an essentially peopleless, paperless organization. The factory should be capable of producing a wide variety of parts on demand. Speech recognition, speech synthesis and image processing tasks are examples of sensor-interpretation problems. These problems require the development of special purpose processors. A number of issues are to be considered while designing task-oriented systems. A block diagram shows architecture of the Harpy machine.
