R can handle floating point data at very high speed. It is composed of 16 processing cells and a cache that are connected linearly and form a ring structure. All processing cells are identical and programmable. Each processing cell has the peak performance of 20 million floating-point operations per second (20MFLOPS). The machine therefore has a peak performance of 320 M FLOPS. It is integrated as an attached processor into a host system through VME bus interface. Programs for FXCQ are written in a high-level language -B language, which is supported by a parallel optimizing compiler. This paper describes the architecture of FXCQ, B language and its compiler.展开更多

It is also very important for Intelligent Networks Application Protocol(INAP). This paper presents the design and implementation of the ASN.1 C++ compiler. According to the ASN.1 text, this compiler can generate C++ code of functions for encoding and decoding the data types which are defined by ASN.1. These functions are based on the Basic Encoding Rules(BER) of ASN.1. They have been used in the CIN 01 and CIN 02 systems.展开更多
