Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Parallel RISC computer system is provided by a multi-mode dynamic multi-mode parallel processor array with one embodiment illustrating a tightly coupled VLSI embodiment with an architecture which can be extended to more widely placed processing elements through the interconnection network which couples multiple processors capable of MIMD mode processing to one another with broadcast of instructions to selected groups of units controlled by a controlling processor. The coupling of the processing elements logic enables dynamic mode assignment and dynamic mode switching, allowing processors operating in a SIMD mode to make maximum memory and cycle time usage. On and instruction by instruction …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 9, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 9, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 9, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
