%X This paper describes a new approach to parallel processing
within thewell targetted application domain of wireless
communications systems, using thepicoArrayTM. The
picoArrayTM is a tiled\-processor architecture, containing
430 heterogeneousprocessors, connected through a novel,
compile\-time scheduled interconnect.We show how the
features of the picoArrayTM allow deterministic processing
tobe achieved, and how the tool chain allows programming to
be performed effectivelyin a combination of high level
assembly language and C. By handling a wide varietyof types
of processing within the picoArrayTM a single design flow
can be usedto produce complex communications systems. The
effectiveness of this approach isdemonstrated through the
use of the picoArrayTM to build a working 3G base\-station.
