Multimedia applications are among the most dominant computing workloads driving innovations in high performance and cost effective systems In this regard, modern general-purpose microprocessors have included multimedia extensions (e.g., MMX, SSE, VIS, ...

An optical communication structure is proposed for multiprocessor arrays which exploits the high communication bandwidth of optical waveguides. The structure takes advantage of two properties of optical signal transmissions on waveguides, namely, ...

Examines the checksum methods of Abraham et al. for LU decomposition on multiprocessor arrays. Their methods are efficient for detecting a transient error, but expensive for correcting it due to the need for a computation rollback. The authors show how ...

Parallel Jacobi-like algorithms are presented for computing a singular-value decomposition of an $m \times n$ matrix $(m \geqq n)$ and an eigenvalue decomposition of an $n \times n$ symmetric matrix. A linear array of $O(n)$ processors is proposed for the ...
