Abstract

The paper presents the design and evaluation of an efficient routing structure for implementation within a dedicated multiprocessor architecture whose target is 3D medical imaging applications, and computer graphics rastering. Computational similarities between these two techniques are also pointed out and discussed. Simulations are presented showing the various data flows and required performance
