Abstract

A method for mapping nonlocal image processing algorithms onto Orthogonal Multiprocessor Systems (OMP) is presented in this paper. Information is moved between memory modules by alternating the processors mode of accessing the memory array. The introduction of synchronisation barriers when the processors attempt to change the memory access mode of the OMP architecture synchronises the processing. Two parallel and nonlocal algorithms of the low and intermediate image processing levels are proposed and their efficiency is analysed. The performance of the OMP system for these type of algorithms was evaluated by simulation.
