Abstract
A multi-processor system for multidimensional image signal processing includes a plurality of co-processors and a host processor which issues processor numbers and a command to the co-processors through a bus. Due to the multi-dimensional nature of the processor numbers, data processing for given ranges of an image signal can be shared by the co-processors. A particular multi-dimensional processor number issued by the host computer which allows simultaneous communication to be performed between the host processor and the co-processors.
