Abstract :
In this paper the author sets out to explore the cost-effectiveness of wafer-scale embedded-MPC (massively parallel computers) modules for cost-effective image processing systems. Design considerations for modular-MPC accelerators for image processing workstations have provided the basis for a case-study. It has been demonstrated that, with the WSI ASP modules being developed by Aspex Microsystems, modular-MPC accelerators could offer the application flexibility and cost-effectiveness to overcome current problems and achieve end-user acceptability
