A Tree Structured Architecture for semantic gap reduction

Abstract

The article proposes a new Tree-Structured-Architecture (TSA). The TSA is object-oriented, implements the notions of capability-based-addressing and the single-level-store, and it is particularly designed to narrow the semantic gap. It encourages modular programming and directly supports the concepts of tasks and inter-task communication, making it particularly suitable for multiprocessing and multiprogramming implementation.The TSA is implemented on a multi-resource, distributed, matrix-structured, reconfigurable, fault-tolerant computing system, proposed in this article. The system implements some ideas of the dynamic and the flexible architecture. The system possesses a high degree of regularity by implementing large amounts of identical units. The hardware is modular, permitting the addition or removal of groups of units, without a change in the system's software.
