Pyramids — Expected Performance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 25))

Abstract

When any new computer architecture is proposed, questions are inevitably asked as to how systems based on the architecture can be expected to perform. It is not an unreasonable assumption that each proposal will represent an attempt to produce an improved optimisation against one or more criteria; ‘performance’, at best a vague, imprecisely defined term, is a measure of how successful that optimisation has been. In this paper, various classes of design criteria will be discussed, particularly in relation to pyramids applied to the processing of image data.
