Multidimensional Digital Signal Processing.
Abstract
This project has been concerned with the development of software tools for the study, at the most general level, of the ALPS system architecture. The primary aim to these tools is to answer such questions as: is a signal processing application feasible with a given hardware configuration?; will the system degrade gracefully if some the the resources fail?; what is the effect on system performance of changes to details such as the number of resources available, the execution time of a resource etc., etc? A program has been written in FORTRAN 77 which simulates the ALPS Signal Flow Architecture. It takes the following information into consideration: (1) The signal processing application expressed as a signal flow graph with modifications; (2) The number and types of resources in the system; (3) The execution time of the resources; (4) The type of resource associated with each graph mode; (5) The number of data busses and their data transfer rates; and (6) The rate at which data is presented to the input of the system.
