Abstract

The most important basic features of Xputer hardware organization are introduced and contrasted with those of von Neumann computers. These features are illustrated by details about the MoM Xputer architecture. The Xputer paradigm is considered as a model for implementing parallel algorithms, which can run by orders of magnitude faster on Xputers than on computers. Some throughput figures and hardware cost figures obtained experimentally from application examples running an Xputer architecture and from code generated by a compiler are given. Technology issues and the use of the Xputer paradigm as a novel method for very fast and cheap design of ASICs are discussed
