With the growing need for flexibility... an embedded parallel computer is needed that finds the optimum balance between all of the available forms of parallelism, yet remains programmable. Embedded computation requires more generality/flexibility than that offered by an ASIC [application specific integrated circuit], but less generality than that offered by a general purpose processor. Therefore, the instruction set architecture of an embedded computer can be optimized for an application domain, yet remain "general purpose" within that domain. 1, record 1, English, - embedded%20computation

Le concept d'architecture systolique. Le nom vient de l'analogie entre le fonctionnement de ce type de machine et celui du cœur : la systole désigne le stade de la contraction du cœur. Une machine systolique est une sorte de réseau de processeurs au travers duquel circulent des données. Celles-ci sont injectées dans le réseau par un calculateur appelé «hôte». Les processeurs du réseau fonctionnent de façon synchrone, par battements : au cours d'un battement, chaque processeur reçoit des données, qu'il traite et transmet à ses plus proches voisins (principe appliqué au traitement de la parole). 4, record 2, French, - architecture%20SIMD%20synchrone
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
L'architecture systolique est au total le résultat d'un mariage heureux entre l'organisation SIMD dont elle conserve la régularité et le caractère synchrone, et l'architecture pipeline. Son principal intérêt est de permettre le traitement «au vol» des données, ce que ne fait pas de manière naturelle une architecture SIMD. 4, record 2, French, - architecture%20SIMD%20synchrone

Massively parallel architecture. Some modern supercomputers have thousands of simple processors. Complex mathematical tasks are split up into thousands of tiny sub-tasks, and each sub-task is given to a single processor. For instance, when modelling a weather system or chemical reaction, each processor can simulate the movement of a molecule or group of molecules. When modelling nuclear reactions, each processor can act out the movement of a sub-atomic particle. 3, record 3, English, - highly%20parallel%20architecture
