Abstract :
The implementation details of an advanced version of the ABACO architecture are presented. ABACO is a distributed memory multiprocessor system with a shared-bus interconnection network. The processing elements (PEs) are based on the Texas Instruments TMS320C25 digital signal processors (DSPs). The architecture presents a modular implementation: up to four modules with four PEs per module. This characteristic allows great flexibility and reconfigurability. The target is a low-cost and high-performance system for industrial artificial vision applications
