Abstract

In this paper the possibilities are discussed of organizing heterogeneous computing in the so-called Combined Architecture systems consisting of a basic host subsystem (a massively parallel computer), and a set of high-performance specialized parallel coprocessors executing the main workload.

An example is described of a combined architecture system utilizing a fine-grained SIMD computer as a host, and a set of systolic arrays as a powerful processing subsystem.

Some issues are considered concerning the programming technique for the combined architectures.

This research was partially supported by a Russian Basic Research Foundation grant No.94-01-00574
