This paper describes an implementation of a novel major line removal hough transform on a new parallel architectural system, Hybrid System. A Hybrid System is a combination of single instruction multiple data (SIMD) and multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) systems processing at the same time. The line removal algorithm, which is used for detecting lines in an image, strips away major lines so that minor lines can become more easily detectable. The algorithm is implemented and evaluated on the hybrid system. Being a new extended architecture, we also established the derivation for the hybrid system speedup. We were able to obtain speedup that surpasses that of MIMD systems with the same number of pes. In the paper, we also introduce a new SIMD concept.
