Matched Field Processing on the Connection Machine

Abstract

Matched field processing was implemented on the Thinking Machine Corporation's Connection Machine (model CM-2), which employs thousands of bit- serial processors. The potential of the CM-2 was not realized in this initial implementation because the programming style and language features used led to a large interprocessor communications burden. In subsequent efforts at developing signal processing on parallel processors, there should be additional emphasis on decomposing the overall processing into a relatively small set of building blocks that are of higher level than elementary arithmetic operations on scalars.
