Abstract :
The processing features of the Texas Reconfigurable Array Computer (TRAC) are examined, with emphasis on partitioning using buses and the usefulness of SIMD-MIMD. The trees used in TRAC are considered as well as the programmer´s view of a task space. It is concluded that many real algorithms require a plurality of computational mechanisms, and TRAC, having a rich set of capabilities, should provide a means to solve them efficiently
