Design and Development of Tightly-Coupled Heterogeneous Parallel Systems for Image Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the development of the Image Understanding Architecture (IUA), a heterogeneous, multi-level parallel processor being built by the University of Massachusetts and Hughes Research Laboratories to support real-time, knowledge-based machine vision. An architectural overview of the prototype IUA is presented, and then the design of the second generation of the architecture, which is currently under construction. The software environment for the IUA, which is under development at Amerinex Artificial Intelligence, is also briefly discussed.

متن کاملReal-Time Considerations in the Design of the Image Understanding Architecture
The Image Understanding Architecture (IUA) is a tightly-coupled heterogeneous parallel processor that has been specifically designed for real-time knowledge-based machine vision applications. In particular, the second generation of the IUA is designed to address the demands of the ARPA Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) program in which a small military truck is being developed to carry out scouting...
متن کاملHow Are We Doing? An Efficiency Measure for Shared, Heterogeneous Systems
The utilization of networked, shared, heterogeneous workstations as an inexpensive parallel computation platform is an appealing concept that has received quite a bit of attention in the literature. However, most e ciency measures for parallel computation are oriented towards the use of tightly-coupled, dedicated, homogeneous processors. We propose a new e ciency measure for parallel computatio...
متن کاملDeveloping a method for reliability allocation of series-parallel systems by considering common cause failure
Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...
