PCT No. PCT/SE95/00868 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 14, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 14, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 18, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/03700 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 8, 1996The present invention relates to a parallel processor containing a number of processor elements of the same type which are integrated on one and the same semiconductor chip. The processor is of the type that allows image and signal processing of the information stored in the processor element. The device contains a unit block (3) for each processor element and is characterized in that each unit block comprises at least two incrementing units (1a, 1b) which are designed to add a signal supplied to the unit block and a signal which originates from an incrementing unit corresponding to the respective unit in the closest preceding unit block in every direction of the processor element matrix. Every unit block (3) further contains at least one logical unit (2) which is designed to perform Boolean logic operations on the signals received from the incrementing units of the unit block.
