<> Has anyone looked into the Lucasfilm Pixar for doing image processing work? How does it compare to something like the PIPE (Pipelined Image Processing Engine)? Both seem to be about the same price ($125,000). The PIPE claims a speed of up to 800 million multiply/accumulate operations/second but appears to operate on 8 bit pixels. The Pixar claims around 120 million instructions/second on (I think) 16 bit pixels. harold ravlin {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!uicsl!hr
