Abstract
Techniques for specifying and implementing a software application targeted for execution on a multiprocessor array (MPA). The MPA may include a plurality of processing elements, supporting memory, and a high bandwidth interconnection network (IN), communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements and supporting memory. In some embodiments, software code may include first program instructions executable to perform a function. In some embodiments, the software code may also include one or more language constructs that are configurable to specify one or more one or more parameter inputs. In some embodiments, the one or more parameter inputs are configurable to specify a set of hardware resources usable to execute the software code. In some embodiments, the hardware resources include multiple processors and may include multiple supporting memories.
