End of Year Report for Parallel Vision Algorithm Design and Implementation

Abstract
Progress on the Parallel Vision project is reported. Three major accomplishments are noted: the development of the Apply language, the WEB library, and benchmarks of Warp for the DARPA image understanding architecture comparisons. The Apply language development includes a description of the language and its implementation on Warp, the Sun, and the Hughes HBA, together with benchmark comparisons of these very different architectures. The WEB library includes over 100 routines; included in this report are performance numbers of these routines on the CMU Warp machine. Finally, a detailed analysis of the Warp routines implemented for the DARPA Image Understanding benchmarks is given. Keywords: Parallel vision, Edge detection, Apply programming language.
