Abstract

In this paper an effective memory-processor integrated architecture, called memory_based processor array (MPA), for computer vision is proposed. The MPA can be easily attached into any host system via memory interface. In order to measure the impact of the memory interface structure an analytical model is derived. The performance improvement on the proposed model for the memory interface architecture of the MPA system can be 6% - 40% for vision tasks consisting of sequential and data parallel tasks. The asymptotic time complexities of the mapping algorithms are evaluated to verify the cost-effectiveness and the efficiency of the MPA system.
