TY - JOUR AU - AB - We present a software environment for the efficient simulation of cellular processor arrays (CPAs). This software (APRON) is used to explore algorithms that are designed for massively parallel fine-grained processor arrays, topographic multilayer neural networks, vision chips with SIMD processor arrays, and related architectures. The software uses a highly optimised core combined with a flexible compiler to provide the user with tools for the design of new processor array hardware architectures and the emulation of existing devices. We present performance benchmarks for the software processor array implemented on standard commodity microproce TI - APRON: A Cellular Processor Array Simulation and Hardware Design Tool JF - EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing DO - 10.1155/2009/751687 DA - 2009-07-27 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/apron-a-cellular-processor-array-simulation-and-hardware-design-tool-N0cdrUBwoq VL - 2009 IS - 2009 DP - DeepDyve ER -
