Mihaela Malita Summer 2007. Student Research Project. Computer Science Department Saint Anselm College
We are building a library of
examples in CVector designed for a new parallel computer architecture:
the Connex chip produced by BrightScale
(former Connex Technology) located in Silicon Valley.
The ConnexArray architecture provides an optimal solution to the
digital camera pipeline challenge.
It provides the performance and power efficiency of high performance ASICs while
maintaining extremely cost effective implementations with a completely programmable core.
This breakthrough will enable higher performance, lower cost cameras in both still
and camcorder product categories.
In addition it will enable new classes of products previously not possible due to the
inflexible nature of ASIC implementations and the cost/performance/power inefficiency of
previous programmable approaches.
