Abstract
This summary presents results of a study aimed at assessing the relative enhancement of an electronic multiprocessor system by the addition of an optical co-processor. An analytical performance comparison of optical and electronic processing paradigms is being conducted using image processing/vision operations as benchmark tasks. These tasks range from low-level operations such as matrix-matrix multiples to high-level operations such as position and scale invariant pattern recognition. Three specific multiprocessors developed by Hughes were used in the comparisons: the Image Understanding Architecture (IUA), the 3-D Computer, and the Systolic/Cellular System multiprocessor.
