COMPUTER FOR AMDAHL-COMPLIANT ALGORITHMS LIKE MATRIX INVERSION

A family of computers is disclosed and claimed that supports simultaneous processes from the single core up to multi-chip Program Execution Systems (PES). The instruction processing of the instructed resources is local, dispensing with the need for large VLIW memories. The cores through the PES have maximum performance for Amdahl-compliant algorithms like matrix inversion, because the multiplications do not stall and the other circuitry keeps up. Cores with log based multiplication generators improve this performance by a factor of two for sine and cosine calculations in single precision floating point and have even greater performance for loge and ex calculations. Apparatus specifying, simulating, and/or layouts of the computer (components) are disclosed. Apparatus the computer and/or its components are disclosed.
