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 specify one or more cell definitions that include: program instructions executable to perform a function and one or more language constructs. The software code may further instantiate first, second, and third cell instances, each of which is an instantiation of one of the one or more cell definitions, where the instantiation includes configuration of the one or more language constructs such that: the first and second cell instances communicate via respective communication ports and the first and second cell instances are included in the third cell instance.
