Abstract

The need for the high-speed computers in areas such as signal processing, weather prediction, image processing, simulation etc. led to the development of super computers such as ILLIAC IV, Burroughs Scientific Processor, CYBER 205 and CRAY-1. The architecture of these computers differs significantly from that of conventional computers which use strictly von Neumann architecture. The above-mentioned computers use parallelism and pipelining to attain high processing speeds [1],[2],[3]. Computers like ILLIAC IV use an array of processors which can operate concurrently to achieve high throughput. These processors are referred as "array processors" [4]. Some of the processors mentioned above make use of the pipelining to attain processing speeds of the order of millions of instructions per second (MFLOP).
