Summary:Techniques for specifying and implementing a software application targeted for execution on a multiprocessor array (MPA). The MPA may include a plurality of processing elements, supporting memory, and a high bandwidth interconnection network (IN), communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements and supporting memory. In one embodiment, software code may include first program instructions executable to perform a function. In this embodiment, the software code may also include one or more language constructs that are configurable to specify one or more communication ports and one or more parameter inputs. In this embodiment, the one or more communication ports are configurable to specify communication with other software code. In this embodiment, the one or more parameter inputs are configurable to specify a set of hardware resources usable to execute the software code. In this embodiment, the hardware resources include multiple processors and may include multiple supporting memories.
