MUNSTER, GERMANY, Feburary 29, 2012 – “PC Cameras: PC-Host Vision Performance Without Sacrifice,” is a new white paper from the engineers at machine vision specialists, XIMEA, that discusses how new heterogeneous multi-core processors have finally enabled cutting-edge machine vision designers to deliver a fully-functional machine vision system within a smart camera footprint.
Heterogeneous multi-core microprocessors, such as the AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), combine a CPU and GPU block on the same microprocessor die to make 90 Gflops of number-crunching power available to machine vision designers while keeping thermal design power (TDP) low enough not to require active cooling, resulting in PC-class processing performance in a solid state PC Camera design.
