Resumen:
This paper presents an application specific processor
architecture for the calculation of simplicial piecewise linear functions
of up to six dimensions with 24-bit wide input words. The
architecture, in particular registers and bus connections, is specifically
designed for the task of simplicial piecewise linear computation.
The parameters of the function are stored in an external
16 MB RAM memory. A proof-of-concept integrated circuit (that
achieved first silicon success) was fabricated through MOSIS in a 4mm x 4mm 0.5um
standard CMOS process using an automated
design flow based on Synopsys and Cadence tools and the
OSU standard cell library.
