Channels are a strong point of this architecture as all data goes through channels including [[memory]] and [[registers]]. Channel interconnects can be loosely divided into three categories: |

Programming may be done in [[assembly]] or in {{\\|aJava}}. {{\\|aJava}} is a [[strict subset]] of [[Java]]. While it excludes the Java standard library, Ambric did offer various libraries for performing various video and imaging processing (e.g. [[AVC-Intra]], [[MPEG-2]].

− | Ambric employed a Structural Object Programming Model. Every object is strictly encapsulated. Because the large number of cores each chip offers, objects are treated as independent programs running concurrently. Objects exchange data and control only through structures called '''Ambric channels''' which are both self-synchronizing and operate asynchronously. | + | Ambric employed a Structural Object Programming Model.
