Abstract :
A computer-aided design tool, the SIMARC package, is used for the fast prototyping of modularly configured attached processor (MCAP) architectures. This tool consists of a graphics-user-interface (GUI) architecture editor, a GUI assembler tool, and a GUI simulator tool. This document presents the standard set of connections and component types that form the structure of a MCAP architecture. A new architecture for the conjugate gradient algorithm is introduced
