Image Processing Across Multiple Interconnected System-on-Chips

Abstract: This thesis explores the communication between interconnected System-on-Chips that process images. It explores the difficulties faced when combining two heterogeneous multiprocessors to act as a single unit. It also examines the performance gain of the resulting system. The thesis shows that not only does the resulting system decrease the bandwidth usage on the individual System-on-Chips, but it also opens the possibility of using remote processors for offloading of independent tasks.
