Data Level Parallel Processing for Object Recognition on Recursive Torus Architecture

摘要

This paper first gives a brief overview of the hardware design of RTA/1 (with 1024 PEs), a parallel machine designed based on the Recursive Torus Architecture[1]. We developed a small-scale prototype machine with 16 PEs, RTA/0, to evaluate its performance. Then, we propose a scheme of data level parallel processing on RTA/1 and demonstrate its utilities by implementing complex parallel processes for bottom-up object recognition on RTA/0.
