One major issue in designing image processors is to design a memory system that supports parallel access with a simple interconnection network. This paper presents a design methodology for a logic-in-memory architecture where each of memory modules is connected to its dedicated processing element(PE). An efficient memory allocation to minimize the number of memory modules and PEs under a time constraint is proposed based on regularity.
