Abstract
An efficient parallel algorithm is presented for convolution on a
mesh-connected computer with wraparound. The algorithm does not require
a broadcast feature for data values, as assumed by previously proposed
algorithms. As a result, the algorithm is applicable to both SIMD and
MIMD meshes. For an N×N image and a
M×M template, the previous algorithms take O
(M2q) time on an
N×N mesh-connected multicomputer (q is
the number of bits in each entry of the convolution matrix). The
algorithms have complexity O(M2r),
where r=max {number of bits in an image entry, number of bits
in a template entry}. In addition to not requiring a broadcast
capability, these algorithms are faster for binary images
