چکیده
This paper reports work carried out within the BIOLAB consortium of the CEC Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) programme. The overall purpose of the work is to assess the potential for commercially available parallel computer systems to enhance practical applications of medical image analysis. Here, we report methods developed for using the Active Memory Technology (AMT) DAP as a "compute server" to a network of workstations. We report three technical developments.

General-purpose 128 128 SIMD processor array with integrated image sensor
Introduction: In some computer vision applications, especially where high computational performance is required together with low power consumption, it is beneficial to use ‘vision chips’—devices that combine image sensing and processing on a single silicon die. Application-specific vision chips can efficiently perform some uncomplicated low-level image processing tasks, such as filtering, edge...

In this chapter, the architecture, design and implementation of a vision chip with general-purpose programmable pixel-parallel cellular processor array, operating in single instruction multiple data (SIMD) mode is presented. The SIMD concurrent processor architecture is ideally suited to implementing low-level image processing algorithms. The datapath components (registers, I/O, arithmetic unit...
متن کاملImplementation of a SliM Array Processor
This paper presents the design and implementation of a Sliding Memory Plane (SliM) Array Processor, a mesh-connected SIMD architecture. To build the array processor, we developed the SliM chip consisting of mesh-connected 5 x 5 processing elements (PEs). Due to the idea of sliding, that is, overlapping the inter-PE communication with the computation, the SliM chip can greatly reduce the inter-P...
متن کاملAccelerating Medical Image Registration Using a SIMD Array
Medical image registration plays an important role in medical imaging in the early detection of cancers. An essential component in most medical registration approaches is resampling algorithms. These algorithms, however, demand tremendous computational power associated with similarity computation. The increasing availability of parallel computers makes parallelizing these tasks an attractive op...
