ABSTRACT:
An array processor includes a master array controller and sequencer (12) and a plurality of slave processors (20a)-(20n). The master generates sequencing commands for sequencing instruction flow in each of the slave processors. The slave processors generate addresses for associated memories (34a)-(34n). The data outputs of the memories are interfaced through a cross point switch (22) to a slave data processor (24). The master (12) is operable to initialize all of the slave devices to a starting address for an internal routine and sequence the instruction flow therein in a synchronous and parallel manner to execute a particular task.
