Abstract
A class of parallel computers consisting of an array of small processors each executing the same instruction on its local data. The processors are often one bit processors (a bit-serial array) and are often arranged in a regular lattice using hexagonal or square tessellation (with or without diagonals). Such arrays are particularly useful for simple image processing where each image pixel is generally assigned to a separate processor (eg. [Danieisson 1981] ). Typical examples are DAP (from ICL), CLIP4 (from University College London). MPP (from Goodyear Aerospace) and GRID (from GEO. See propagation in cellular arrays <197>.
