Abstract
This paper describes a memory-based SIMD shared-bus parallel processor architecture, which is called "Functional Memory Type Parallel Processor" abbreviated as FMPP. The FMPP architecture integrates memory and an ALU closely on a single die. All the PEs are connected with a shared bus and laid out in a two-dimensional array like memory and perform the same instructions according to the SIMD manner. The FMPP architecture enables massively parallel computing inside a memory. It has a capability to break the Von Neumann bottleneck where the system performance is limited by the bus performance between memory and CPU. We have developed four LSIs based on the bit-parallel block-parallel architecture, where a PE consists of several words and a bit-parallel ALU. The first LSI called the BPBP-FMPP with 8 PEs is designed and fabricated for general purpose. A PE consists of 32bit CAM words and a 32bit ALU for numerical and logical operations. The following three LSIs called FMPP-VQ are for a spec...
