Abstract
A description is given of the CLIP7 image-processing chip. The
device is implemented as a custom designed integrated circuit and
contains a single processing element for use in arrays of processors.
The chip uses 16-bit internal and 8-bit external data buses and divides
crudely into two major sections: data processing and data input/output.
The first structure to be assembled using these processors is a
256-element linear array, each element incorporating two of the CLIP7
processors. This system, known as CLIP7A, is used both to study the
application of partial local autonomy techniques to image processing and
also as a fast and convenient system for the emulation of other
architectures. CLIP7A software and hardware are also described
