Image processing on MPP: 1

Abstract The Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) is a 128 by 128 array of processing elements that communicate with their horizontal and vertical neighbors by shifting data one bit at a time. This paper describes the efficient use of MPP for various types of image processing operations, including point and local operations, discrete transforms and computation of image statistics. A comparison between MPP and ZMOB (a system consisting of 256 microprocessors) is also presented.
