ABSTRACT:
Polymorphic mesh uses physical mesh connection to form twelve useful connection patterns for each of the processing elements making up an image procssor of cellular automata under software control. Each processing element includes a limited mesh of interconnections to related processing elements. This provides for programmable choice of network configuration. The limited mesh of network interconnection is controlled by information stored in a register within the affected processing element. The interconnection pattern controlled by this information is invoked by programming, or by the combination of programming and process data, so as to configure the network of processing elements dynamically in the desired mesh. Representative configurations are:
