The Cell processor is a novel heterogeneous multicore architecture that holds the distinction of being part of the most powerful distributed computing system capable of sustaining over 4.5 Petaflops as well as in the RoadRunner supercomputer. This thesis hopes to meet the demands of the challenging task of face detection.
In this thesis a MLP neural network classifier is implemented on the multicore Cell architecture. Scalability of the code is addressed and every effort has been made to ensure that the code is not dependant on the structure of the network.
