Alternate Multicore Architectures

Alternate Multicore Architectures
    The following designs are possible alternatives or successors to my existing hypercube or array processor designs.

D1: DataFlow Processor
   The data flows in a single direction in a pipeline or tree fashion where each core performs a single process on the dataset which is passed along to the next node(s).
D2: Data Parallel Processor
   This architecture is fine grained and usually assigns a single core to each data point for SIMD oriented user software.
