Computer Design Project is a student driven project at NTNU
where students work together designing a computer system. The
students are involved in the entire process, from early design,
making the PCB, choosing components, and writing software to run
on the system. The task given was to create an array-based
parallel image processor with focus on performance. An array
processor is a grid of processing elements, where each of the
processing elements are able to communicate with its north,
south, east and west neighbors. Upon the completion of the
Computer Design Project we wrote a detailed technical report
detailing every step of the way of from the very start of the
design process, implementation of all the various components,
system testing, deployment and usage of 256 Shades of Gray.

Gray machine directly from GitHub. This includes all source VHDL
project files for the LENA architecture and all source C-files
