warp machine (1984): origins of parallel computing systems the Warp machine was a high-performance systolic array computer designed for computation-intensive applications, consisting of a linear systolic array of 10 identical cells, each is a 10 MFLOPS programmable processor reaching 100 MFLOPS peak. Warp was several hundred times faster than a VAX 11/780 class computer. applications developed were low-level vision for robot vehicle navigation, image and signal processing, scientific computing, magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) image processing, radar and sonar simulation, graph algorithms and a low-level image library.
