Abstract
Aimed to evaluate the image processing capabilities of the massively parallel computer Quadrics Q1, a convolution algorithm have been implemented that is described in this report. At first the discrete convolution mathematical definition is recalled together with the main Q1 h/w and s/w features. Then the different codification forms of the algorithm are described and the Q1 performances are compared with those obtained by different computers. Finally, the conclusions report on main results and suggestions.
