A multi-computer type parallel processing system has been developed that offers a peak performance of 12.8 GFLOPS. This system is called NOW-I1 HiPIPE, and was designed for super high definition (SHD) image processing. SHD image is a new image media and its resolution is higher than HDTV. Because SHD image processing requires computing power that exceeds the ability of any single DSP, current or anticipated, NOVI-I1 HiPIPE uses a multi-computer type parallel processing architecture. We have developed a 100 MFLOPS vector processor which serves as the backend processor of each processing element. The current version of NOVI-I1 HiPIPE uses 128 mesh connected processing elements and 128 vector processors. This paper describes the configuration and performance of NOVI-I1 HiPIPE.
