    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

    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.
