The design of a massively parallel processing system IPU (Integrated Parallel Processing Unit) is described in this paper. It is a two-dimensional mesh-connected parallel proccesing array operated in an SIMD fashion. The current version of the IPU array is implemented with 64 systolic VLSI chips, each of which consists of 4 processing elements (PEs). Each PE consists of a 4-bit ALU, a 64* 4-bit...

scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. on other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. a maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equip...

The authors developed numerical methods based on Local Interaction Simulation Approach (LISA) and Elastodynamic Finite Integration Technique (EFIT) for simulation of elastic wave propagation in structures. The methods have been implemented in the simulation framework using parallel processing architecture Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) offered by graphical processing units (GPUs). ...

Perhaps the clearest organizing principle in sensory systems is the existence of maps, in which there is an orderly and systematic layout of the stimulus space on a two-dimensional array of neurons. Usually, the layout of the stimulus on the receptor sheet is reproduced so that neurons that innervate adjacent sites on the receptor sheet project to adjacent sites in the central map. Thus, in the...

The paper presents a method to integrate parallelism in the DIPLIB sequential image processing library. The library contains several framework functions for di erent types of operations. We parallelize the lter framework function (contains the neighborhood image processing operators). We validate our method by testing it with the geometric mean lter. Experiments on a cluster of workstations sho...

This paper analyses the requirements of a toolset intended for integrated parallel system design Real time data dominated systems are targeted particularly those in vision and image processing A con strained abstract model is represented based around software pipelines each stage of which can contain a parallel component The toolset is novel in seeking to enable generalized parallelism in which...

A new version of an experimental system of an optoelectronic hybrid optical parallel array logic system is constructed. The experimental system is composed of a two-dimensional correlator with selectable holographic filters and parallel electronic circuits. The system can process images consisting of 3 × 3 pixels at a time. Several types of processing are achieved both without and with dynamic ...
