Massively parallel processing arrays (MPPAs) for embedded HD video and imaging (Part 1)
An MPPA having hundreds of processors can simplify video and imaging software development for embedded applications. Each processor in an MPPA is strictly encapsulated, accessing only its own code and memory. This architecture provides a very different programming model, one where each processor devotes separate channels for each type of input and output data it needs to communicate with other processors, and there are no shared memory bottlenecks.
