Abstract
The ASP System Testbed for Research and Applications (ASTRA) is an associative processor-based parallel processing system developed for image processing applications. The machine implements a multilayer heterogeneous architecture with an extendable linear array of simple associative processing elements at its base and more powerful processors at higher levels. A model has been developed to assist in performance evaluation studies of the system on image processing applications with the aid of vision-related benchmarks. The machine and an analysis of some of the results obtained on one such benchmark are discussed in this paper
