Abstract

In this paper, we describe a Broadcast Cube System [BCS] architecture for high speed scientific computation and logic programming. The architecture is based on multiple fully connected broadcast networks connected in cube topology. We also present the software environment for the above architecture which supports multi-processing in a way which is very similar to the multiprocessing in UNIX operating system. A numerical integration program is also given in this paper which uses the subroutine calls from the software environment and runs on BCS architecture.
