Abstract
The paper describes a near neighbor mesh connected SIMD array processor with mixed autonomy local interconnect. The processing element is based on the MGAP processing element. It is shown that for low level image processing tasks, the availability of a local interconnect which can operate autonomously or under global control improves performance significantly
