Abstract
There has recently been an interest in
the Reconfigurable Mesh (RM) because of its simplicity
and dynamic nature. Among many applications, RM can be viewed
as a part of a powerful image understanding architecture for supporting
real-time image understanding applications.
This paper defines a programming model for the general RM which is expressed
by means of a programming language
RPC (Reconfigurable Parallel C).
The paper also presents a serial simulator, RMSIM
(Reconfigurable Mesh Simulator),
which permits the study of RPC programs written for a subnetwork
of 3-D RM, known as mesh of meshes, where buses can be formed only
in 2-D space. RMSIM is an easy-to-use simulator capable of simulating
any RPC program in different axis orientations within restricted regions.
To enhance debugging facilities, RMSIM is equipped with a snapshotter to
generate Latex pictures of any planar segment of the simulated mesh at any
step of program execution.
