Abstract:
The invention provides a parallel data processing device having an array of parallel processing elements (LPA1 . . . 320) for processing a signal to obtain parallel streams of data, and means (TSMM1 . . . 80) for shuffling the parallel streams of data in a block-wise manner. The data shuffling means (TSMM1 . . . 80) have an array of addressable switch memory matrices (TSMM1 . . . 80) which are each coupled to a predetermined number of processing elements (LPA1 . . . 320). The array of switch memory matrices (TSMM1 . . . 80) solves data flow limitations of highly parallel linear array processors as well as intermediate storage requirements of image processing algorithms. In a camera system the parallel data processing device is combined with a sensor array (S).
