Abstract: Techniques for specifying and implementing a software application targeted for execution on a multiprocessor array (MPA). The MPA may include a plurality of processing elements, supporting memory, and a high bandwidth interconnection network (IN), communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements and supporting memory. In some embodiments, software code may specify one or more cell definitions that include: program instructions executable to perform a function and one or more language constructs. The software code may further instantiate first, second, and third cell instances, each of which is an instantiation of one of the one or more cell definitions, where the instantiation includes configuration of the one or more language constructs such that: the first and second cell instances communicate via respective communication ports and the first and second cell instances are included in the third cell instance.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system and method for swapping applications executing on the multiprocessor system are disclosed. The plurality of applications may include a first application and a plurality of other applications. The first application may be dynamically swapped with a second application. The swapping may be performed without stopping the plurality of other applications. The plurality of other applications may continue to execute during the swapping to perform a real-time operation and process real-time data. After the swapping, the plurality of other applications may continue to execute with the second application, and at least a subset of the plurality of other applications may communicate with the second application to perform the real time operation and process the real time data.
