Abstract

A new computational model, called a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS), has been proposed as a feasible and efficient parallel computational model based on current optical technologies. In this paper, we further study this model by proposing several basic data movement operations on the model. These operations include broadcast, multicast, compression, split, binary prefix sum, maximum finding. Using these basic operations, several image processing algorithms are also presented for the model. We show that all algorithms can be executed efficiently on the LARPBS model. It is our hope that the LARPBS model can be used as a new and practical parallel computational model for designing parallel algorithms.
