Abstract :
The algorithms best suited to a single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) processor array (in particular the AMT DAP510) both for encoding and image generation (decoding) are discussed. The iterated function system (IFS) literature is reviewed from an engineering rather than a mathematical angle. IFS image regeneration theory and performance data are provided. Some alternative machine architecture are discussed
