Abstract
The evolution of chip architecture is discussed in this paper. Then MPP SoC architectures according to three kinds of computing paradigms are analyzed. Based on these discussions and analyses, array processor architecture for unified change is presented, which could implement the simplification, effectiveness and versatility of both data level and non-data level parallel algorithm’s programming.
