Iterative system for massively parallel processing and methods for use therewith

Abstract

A computing system includes: a computational engine having a plurality of processing elements arrayed in accordance with a grid topology, wherein each of the plurality of processing elements is configured to perform one of a plurality of processing functions, and wherein the plurality of processing functions include a principal function, a kernel function, a routing function, and a reducer function; and a host processor having at least one processing circuit and at least one memory that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing circuit, cause the at least one processor to: receive a task input; and control the computational engine in accordance with an iterative reduce-broadcast-apply process to generate a task output that is based on the task input.
