AbstractThe physical scaling following Moore's law is saturated while the requirement on computing keeps growing. The gain from improving silicon technology is only the shrinking of the silicon area, and the speed- We have so far proved by applications that most DSP algorithms, such as filters, vector/matrix operations, transforms, and arithmetic functions, can achieve computing efficiency over 70% on the ePUMA platform.And the non-address stream network provides equivalent communication bandwidth by less than 30% implementation cost of a crossbar interconnection.
