Process for the automatic production of a processor from a machine description

A process for the production of an SIMD processor, which contains common control signal sharing disks for the processing of different data respectively, in which the geometry of the processor is produced at least indirectly from a machine description, which consists of a database, contains definitions of several functional units, consist of at least parameters of the number and types of the inputs and outputs and the connection of the functional units with other functional units, comprising the steps of:

• producing an altered machine description and using said altered machine description as the basis for the production of a geometry of the SIMD processor in such a way that functional units are selected from a criterion in the machine description, which are vector-processible, that a first or second reduced functional unit are selected defined from a respective vector-processing functional unit, in which the reduced functional units process only a data element of a vectoral value as component of the respective vector-processing functional unit, that all reduced functional units, which use common control signals for the processing of a data element belonging to the vectoral value respectively, are condensed to a disk, that reduced functional units, which process the same data elements in a sequence at least indirectly, are condensed to a disk module, that the respective disk is arranged repeatedly in such a way that the disk with the contained reduced functional units is reproduced so often that all reduced functional units represent the functionality of their respectively selected vector-processing functional unit.
