Abstract :
Describes an implementation of a processor node on a Texas Instruments EVM16 microprogrammable machine. In addition, the authors give an algorithm for performing morphological image processing-a commonly used image processing tool today-on such a distributed control architecture. Finally, they give an overview of a software simulator being implemented for simulating the whole pyramid machine. A simulator is essential for testing the working of the architecture and the algorithms before building the hardware
