Abstract :
A 167-processor 65 nm computational platform well suited for DSP, communication, and multimedia workloads contains 164 programmable processors with dynamic supply voltage and dynamic clock frequency circuits, three algorithm-specific processors, and three 16 KB shared memories, all clocked by independent oscillators and connected by configurable long-distance-capable links.
