Abstract

We describe a new alignment network for a SIMD architecture. The linear skewing scheme can provide conflict free access to vectors which belong to a class called p-ordered vectors. For an odd number of memory banks, we present a new multidimensionnal interconnection network based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem which is able to unscramble all p-ordered vectors and which gives a topology easy to implement.
