PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE
PARALLELISM
The capability of the Burroughs Scientific Processor (BSP) to sustain high
processing rates is achieved via unique parallel designs. The BSP comprises
multiple processors arranged to operate in parallel. The combined potential
of multiple processors is brought to bear on large computational applications.
Figure 3 illustrates the overall architecture of the Burroughs Scientific Processor
(BSP). Four types of parallelism are featured within this architecture; that is,
four different classes of computation occur simultaneously. They are:
1. The arithmetic performed by the 16 arithmetic elements (AE's),
2. Memory fetches and stores, and the transmission of data
between memory and the AE' s,
3. Indexing, vector length, and loop control computations in the
parallel processor control unit,
4. The generation of linear vector operation descriptions, which
takes place in the scalar processor unit (SPU).
The BSP is analogous to an efficiently operated business. The SPU and its control
memory are the executive suite. The executive's instructions are passed to the
administrative clerks in the parallel processor control unit. This unit then does
the bookkeeping and keeps all the major components of the business as busy and
as efficient as possible.
