  • Method and apparatus for performing complex calculations in a multiprocessor array
    Patent number: 7996454
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing complex mathematical calculations. The apparatus includes a multicore processor 10 where the cores 15 are connected 20 into a net with the processors on the periphery 15a primarily dedicated to input/output functions and distribution of tasks to the central processors 15b-h of the net. The central processors 15b-h perform calculations substantially simultaneously, far exceeding the speed of conventional processors. The method 100, which may be implemented by an instruction set to the processor nodes, informs the processor nodes how to divide the work and conduct the calculations. The method includes steps dividing the data into subsets 110 directing the subsets to predetermined nodes 115, performing the calculations 120 and outputting the results 125.
