The Illinois Pattern Recognition Computer-ILLIAC III
TLDR
The Pattern Articulation Unit is the first modular parallel processor which is capable of more reliable visual identification than part analog/part digital preprocessors of much less generality and potential virtuosity and can serve as a prototype to a new generation of parallel computers that will capitalize upon thin film and integrated semiconductor circuitry of the immediate future.Abstract:
This report describes the system design of an all-digital computer for visual recognition. One processor, the Pattern Articulation Unit (PAU), has been singled out for detailed discussion. Other units, in particular the Arithmetic Unit and the Taxicrinic Unit, are treated in reports listed in the bibliography. The PAU has been shown to be a processor of fundamentally new design-its logical organization has no analog in the central processing unit of existing computers. The PAU is the first modular parallel processor which because of its digital organization is capable of more reliable visual identification than part analog/part digital preprocessors of much less generality and potential virtuosity; is faster than any presently suggested alternative realizable today at comparable cost; and can serve as a prototype to a new generation of parallel computers that will capitalize upon thin film and integrated semiconductor circuitry of the immediate future.read more

Architectures of SIMD Cellular Logic Image Processing Arrays
TL;DR: Improvements in semiconductor technology can be expected to go some of the way towards enhancing computer performance towards rates in this region, but the bulk of the gain must still be found elsewhere and, specifically, in improved architectures.

Classification Schemes for Image Processing Architectures
TL;DR: Five classification schemes for image processing architectures focus the attention on different structural characteristics: matching to data or computation structures; interprocessor communication modes; levels of parallelism; subarrays composition; image memory storage and management.
