I am faced with the task of builing a video board to perform certain pixel
transformations.  The problem essentially boils down to performing
one matrix multiplication per 100 ns (10 MHz) where the matrices are
integer 3xN and Nx1 where N is in the range of 4 to 8. (ie 3 dot products 
to be done where the vector length is variable).  The value of N must be
software selectable and not hardwired into the design.  Array processors
have been suggested as a possible building block but I know very little
about them much less any manufacturer/part number.  

Could someone help me out with the array processors or with any other info
they might consider useful?  Keep in mind that this design will end up being
wire wrapped so keeping the chip count low is desirable.  Mail to this
address is preferred so not to waste bandwidth but if the results are
interesting enough I will post a summary.

Thanks!
