Abstract
The man-machine vocal communication requires autonomous, application-adaptable real time systems, whose cost is both reasonable and proportional to their efficiency.
The realisation of a vocal terminal having such characteristics, makes it necessary to choose a parallel architecture.
We present one architecture which is a combination of parallelism and pipelining. It makes it possible to get the best of the execution parallelism proper to the application class treating a continuous data flow.
It is a modular architecture, staticly reconfigurable, functionally distributed, monitored by the data and with a multi-levelled hierarchic control.
