Modeling of architecture of a problem-oriented on-board processor

A problem oriented conveyor processor with software modifiable configuration is suggested for onboard processing of multizonal images. The basic operational unit of the processor is a conveyor computing line. The basic module of the processor is a set of four such lines, switched arbitrarily to produce series or parallel circuits by means of a 4 channel switch. Each computing line includes RAM, an input functional converter, a service register set, a conveyor multiplier-adder, an adder-accumulator, and a normalizing register and output functional converter. High throughput and functional completeness are sought by designing for functional freedom with the minimum number of hardware modules utilizing MSI microcircuits.
