Abstract
We designed and built a special-purpose computer for holography, HORN- 2 (HOlographic ReconstructioN). HORN-2 calculates light intensity at h igh speed of 0.3 Gflops per one board with single (32-bit floating poi nt) precision. The cost of the board is 500 000 Japanese yen (5000 US dollar). We made three boards. Operating them in parallel, we get abou t 1 Gflops.
