Hi,

Are you familiar with the NEC uPD72181 Image Pipeline Processor(ImPP) (should
have been called "Data Flow Processor")?

If not, I would recommend contacting your local NEC representative and
getting information.  There are hundreds of pages of application notes
and flow graphs, explanations, etc.

Further, you'll be able to get your hands on hardware to execute the 
algorithms that you write.

The ImPP is a very, very interesting device....a 40 pin device with
16 inputs, 16 outputs, several handshake and control lines, and power
and ground.

Up to 14 can be cascaded.
