Abstract:
A network of processors having a cellular structure is capable of directly and efficiently executing a predetermined class of programing languages such as applicative languages. The network includes two interconnected networks of processors, one of which is a linear array of cells of a first kind and the other a tree network of cells of a second kind. The network directly interprets a high level language and is capable of operating on a wide range of classes of programs. Within practical limits, the network accommodates the unbounded parallelism permitted by applicative languages in a single user program. The network also has the capability of executing many user programs simultaneously.
