Abstract :
The Programmable Image Processor is a laser-restructurable, wafer-scale device fabricated on a 125-mm wafer using an n-well CMOS process with 2.0 micrometer gates. Yield projections indicate that one wafer has enough devices to construct an array of 16 SIMD-programmable processors and 25 shared memories. The memory array can store two images each 128-by-128 pixels. One run of wafers has been fabricated, and these wafers were undergoing testing and restructuring at the time of publication
