A Medium Level Language for Pyramid Architectures

  • Chapter
Book cover Issues on Machine Vision

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 307))

Abstract

In the paper a Parallel C Languages for pyramid architectures is described. The concept of context is introduced in order to handle concurrence between processes in massive parallel machines. Feature implementation on the PAPIA-machine are given.
