Everything about Asynchronous array of simple processors
Type of computer processor
The asynchronous array of simple processors (AsAP) architecture comprises a 2-D array of reduced complexity programmable processors with small scratchpad memories interconnected by a reconfigurable mesh network. AsAP was developed by researchers in the VLSI Computation Laboratory (VCL) at the University of California, Davis and achieves high performance and energy efficiency, while using a relatively small circuit area. It was made in 2006. Wikipedia →
