A DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR VERY LARGE ARRAY PROCESSORS—PART 1: GIPOP PROCESSOR ARRAY

Very Large Array Processors (VLAP) will be the need of the future for solving computationally intense Very Large Problems (VLP) common in pattern recognition, image processing and other related areas of digital signal processing. Design methodology of such VLAPs for massively parallel dedicated/general purpose applications is highly complex. Two companion papers (Part 1 and Part 2) on VLAP are presented in this issue. In Part 1, we propose a VLAP called Reconfigurable GIPOP Processor Array (RGPA). The RGPA is made up of high performance processing elements called the Generalized Inner Product Outer Product (GIPOP) processor. Unlike the traditional special/general purpose processors, ours has a totally different and new architecture and organization involving higher level functional units to match with the complex computational structures of numeric algorithms and suitable for massively parallel processing. We also present a strategy for mapping VLPs on VLAPs. In Part 2, we propose a novel VLSI design methodology for implementing cost effective and very high performance processors meant for special purpose applications and in particular, for VLAPs.

AbstractWe present Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) Integral Field Unit (IFU), Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the inner kpc of the OH Megamaser galaxy IRAS 11506-3851. In this work we discuss the kinematics and excitation of the gas as well as its radio emission. The HST images reveal an isolated spiral galaxy and the combination with the GMOS-IFU flux distributions allowed us to identify a partial ring of star-forming regions surrounding the nucleus with a radius of ≍500 pc. The emission-line ratios and excitation map reveal that the region inside the ring present mixed/transition excitation between those of Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), while regions along the ring are excited by Starbursts. We suggest that we are probing a buried or fading AGN that could be both exciting the gas and originating an outflow.

AbstractA study of the distribution of OH gas in the central region of the nearby active starburst galaxy M82 has confirmed two previously known bright masers and revealed several new main line masers. Three of these are seen only at 1665 MHz, one is detected only at 1667 MHz, while the rest are detected in both lines. Observations covering both the 1665 and 1667 MHz lines, conducted with both the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), have been used to accurately measure the positions and velocities of these features. This has allowed a comparison with catalogued continuum features in the starburst such as HII regions and supernova remnants, as well as known water and satellite line OH masers. Most of the main line masers appear to be associated with known HII regions although the two detected only at 1665 MHz are seen along the same line of sight as known supernova remnants.

The Galaxy

Very large array, radio-continuum observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3079 are presented. The observations reveal that the nucleus has windlike properties and that the central region of the galaxy exhibits an unusual figure-eight morphology that shows evidence of severe depolarization and a flattening spectral index away from the nucleus. A qualitative description of a model is presented to account for the observed radio properties. It is shown that a wind-driven shock propagating away from the nucleus and focused by the ambient disk gas can give rise to the observed morphology.
