1. A device comprising: a spatial light modulator comprising a plurality of masking-processors, wherein the plurality of masking processors comprise parallel processing elements (PPE) for computing a respective drive waveform for each pixel of a plurality of pixels on the spatial light modulator, wherein each masking-processor comprises logic circuitry for logically and/or arithmetically comparing one or more multiple-bit pixel control values to one or more multiple-bit match values, wherein the PPE are part of execution RAM (ERAM) and PPE processing (EPE) modules located on at least three sides of a mirror RAM (MRRAM) array of the spatial light modulator, and wherein each EPE module comprises ERAM for the PPE of the EPE module.
