Structures and Algorithms For Array Processors

SIMD array processors consist of multiple processing elements that operate under a single control unit and can perform the same operation on multiple data items simultaneously. There are two basic architectural organizations for SIMD computers: array processors that use random access memory and associative processors that use content-addressable memory. SIMD array processors are well-suited for parallel algorithms like matrix multiplication and sorting arrays in parallel.

SIMD Array Processors


A synchronous array of parallel processors is called an array processor
Consist of multiple Processing Elements(PEs) under the supervision of one control unit(CU)

Array processor can handle single instruction multiple data(SIMD) stream Array processors are also known as SIMD computers SIMD computers appear in 2 basic architectural organization
Array processors using random access memory Associative processors using content- addressable( or associative) memory
