A DEDICATED TLM ARRAY PROCESSOR

Abstract

For TLM. Limitations introduced by the The transmission line matrix (TLM) method is introduced and the specific issue of computational efficiency is discussed. The implementation of TLM on parallel computers is studied leading to the creation of a highly efficient processor designed specifically connection strategies employed by most parallel architectures are overcome through the use of a novel data routing architecture. The basic idea is extended to include stub loaded and three-dimensional TLM. The development of a prototype processor is discussed and potential applications are given
