Abstract
A multiprocessor system is disclosed wherein the processors communicate between each other asynchronously while carrying out synchronous processing. Each processor is associated with a cell connected to its neighbors by a ring network through which circulate messages for the processors. Each cell recognized the messages for its associated processor and communicates them to the associated processor. Particularly utility is found in the area of processing image-related data.
