<dd>We present in this study an integrated systems design for a VLSI multiprocessor capable of generating contour surface displays in real-time. We begin by examining a proposed architecture of one such contour surface display generator, and the particular application that initiated the design of that architecture [1]. In the course of the discussion on the original architecture, we detail problems discovered with that architecture. We then propose a new architecture for the contour surface display generator that is both precise in detail, and more technologically realistic.
