Abstract :
A reconfigurable heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture, called Shiva is introduced, and a configuration of it for generating stereoscopic images in parallel is described. The main feature of Shiva is its ability to incorporate different types of processors. This allows a computational task to be distributed over the various processors in a way that best users their combined capabilities. Some results of this system are presented
