ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for parallel processing data and to a camera system comprising such a device. The camera system (1) comprises a sensor matrix (2), a data converter (3), a DSP (4), a central controller (5), a data buffer (7) and a processor matrix (11) consisting of processors (12). The sensor matrix (2) converts incident electromagnetic radiation into pixel signals. The data converter (3) converts the pixel signals into data. The arrows (6) and (8) diagrammatically indicate the transport of pixel signals and data. The data buffer (7) is physically divided into a part (7A) and a part (7B) and functionally divided into an I/O register (9) and a memory bank (10). The central controller (5) co-ordinates the different tasks. The processors (12) and the data buffer (7) have data ports (13) and further data ports (14) with inputs and outputs which are mutually connected in an electrically conducting manner using the connections (15). The processors (12) are arranged in rows (16) which are mutually staggered, and columns (17). This makes all connections (15) substantially straight. Due to the amount of connections, this reduces the surface area.
