Elements of the strategy of outstripping development and architectural prerequisites for the creation of single-chip accelerator for general-purpose massively-parallel computations based on the architecture of domestic multiprocessor computer PS-2000
Abstract:
The causes, manifestations and industrial problems of structural crisis of microprocessor architectures are analyzed. The state of the market of single-chip computer-accelerators for general-purpose massively parallel tasks is considered. The concept of further development of the domestic highly parallel computers PS-2000, which can be regarded as the first representatives of public multiprocessor systems of GP (General Purpose) class, is proposed. The various features of PS-2000M multiprocessor scalable architecture, as the successor of PS-2000, which possesses of great potential for outstripping development, are considered. A comparison of the PS-2000M architecture with modern single-chip architectures for massively parallel computers is given. (in Russian.)
Key words and phrases:computer crisis, a massively parallel architecture, single-chip computer-accelerators, general purpose massively parallel computing, scalability, strategy of outstripping development.
