Design and realization of the control unit of the SYMPATI II machine

Creators

Description

The aim of this study was the design of the control unit of the SYMPATI II system. This system is a high performance SIMD machine dedicated to image processing on pixel level. The machine is based on a control unit and 1, 2 or 4 boards containing each 32 elementary processors. After a bibliographical review, the first section defines the characteristics of the elementary processor and of the different modules of the control unit. This section concerns exclusively the theoretical study of each modules based on specifications of the elementary processor and the specified functionality of the modules. The second section deals with the design of the control unit on a CAD workstation and the choice of convenient components families. Then the realization and the fine adjustment are described. Finally some new solutions concerning the hardware miniaturization are indicated. (author)

Abstract (French)

L'objectif de cette etude consiste a developper la carte unite de commande du systeme SYMPATI II. Ce systeme est une machine tres performante travaillant en mode SIMD, dedie au traitement d'image au niveau du pixel. L'ensemble de cette machine est compose d'une unite de commande et d'une, deux ou quatre cartes processeurs elementaires. Chaque carte processeur elementaire est constituee de trente deux processeurs. Apres une etude bibiographique, la premiere partie definit les caracteristiques du processeur elementaire, ainsi que les differents modules constituant l'unite de commande. Cette partie concerne uniquement l'etude theorique et organique de chaque module a partir des specifications du processeur elementaire d'une part et des fonctionnalites specifiees pour les modules d'autre part. La deuxieme partie concerne la realisation de l'unite de commande sur une station de travail en CAO, le choix des divers familles de composants susceptibles de convenir. La realisation materielle et la mise au point de l'ensemble de la machine SYMPATI II sont traitees. Dans la conclusion,nous proposons de nouvelles solutions de miniaturisation pouvant constituer un prolongement de l'etude. (auteur)
