The Supercomputer Toolkit: A General Framework for Special Purpose Computing

The Toolkit is a family of hardware modules (processors, memory, interconnect, and input-output devices) and a collection of software modules (compilers, simulators, scientific libraries, and high-level front ends) from which high-performance special-purpose computers can be easily configured and programmed. The hardware modules are intended to be standard, reusable parts. These are combined by means of a user-reconfigurable, static interconnect technology. The Toolkit's software support, based on novel compilation techniques, produces extremely high-performance numerical code from high-level language input, and will eventually automatically configure hardware modules for particular applications.

  • "We have completed fabrication of the Toolkit processor module, and an eight-processor configuration is running at MIT. As a demonstration of the power of the Toolkit approach, we have used the prototype Toolkit to perform an integration of the motion of the Solar System in a computation that extends previous results by nearly two orders of magnitude.""@en
