FreeTIV parallel computer: architecture and environment

This paper proposes a concept of vision application-adaptable architecture called FreeTIV (Free architecture dedicated to image processing and vision) based on an adaptable message passing router called RouTIV (Router dedicated to image processing and vision). This router adapts interconnection of the available calculation resources in order to reduce the running application data movements implementation and execution costs. The adaptable router concept allows to obtain application dedicated fast and reliable parallel machine at low cost
