Model-based synthesis of a real-time image processing system

MIRTIS is an environment which employs model-based synthesis techniques to generate real-time image processing applications. The system is capable of creating very high performance implementations of a large class of image processing computations. It automatically data parallelizes the computations using the split-and-merge processing model and executes them on a parallel hardware architecture, a network of C40 DSPs. MIRTIS provides a high level programming interface which masks the complexities of the underlying parallel implementation. Graphical tools are used for building models and controlling the running applications.
