Micro-Accelerators for Sensor Data Processing
Abstract
A method for accelerating COTS processor performance using processing nodes implemented with advanced reconfigurable integrated circuit devices has been developed. This technique uses emerging Field Programmable Gate Array technologies configured as special purpose processing nodes, integrated into a COTS architecture, to perform the high throughput functions in military sensor processing. Data formats are tailored to provide maximum performance at minimum size, weight, power and cost. Simulations of the approach have been demonstrated using the high computation throughput functions within radar Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) algorithms.
