The computational power and the instruction repertoire of the floating point digital signal processors (DSP's) have reached a level that makes it possible to build DSP based parallel computers for high resolution image processing (IP) applications. At the current state of the technology a very large number of DSP's can be used in such a machine and this makes the architecture the main performance determining factor.
