Abstract :
The key issues in designing an algorithm-oriented array processor are addressed in this tutorial. The author discusses how to express the parallelism and description of the space-time activities associated with a parallel algorithm, how to systematically derive a VLSI array hardware design, and how to apply the methodology to image/vision processing applications. The applications include 2-D convolution for edge detection, rank order filter for noise removal and artificial neural nets for associative classification
