Implementation and evaluation of a parallel architecture using asynchronous communications
D. Dulac, Siamak Mohammadi, Alain Merigot · 2002
The paper describes the architecture of a SIMD massively parallel computer, based on a model called associative mesh. Associative mesh is a reconfigurable interconnection whose basic primitives combine efficiently communications and computations, thanks to an asynchronous scheme. We present the physical implementation of an associative network, with 8-connected 2D mesh topology specifically designed for applications in the computer vision domain. Some results of simulations and evaluations are shown.
