Abstract
An architecture based on the Inmos T800 transputer is presented in this paper that is able to compute the bicubical polynomial coefficients for surfacesmodeling in computer graphics. The Occam tasks for the Bezier surfacemodelingalgorithm are discussed, both in the case of a full array, consisting of 256 transputers, and for a partitioned solution using 16 T800's. In particular, the problem of assigning the different tasks to the processors has been considered, showing how our solution can be easily tailored to the hardware resources available.
