Morphing Scenarios for the GMTI Portion of the PCA Integrated Radar Tracker

Abstract

The key to the success of the DARPA-sponsored Polymorphous Computing Architectures (PCA) program is the proper development of the morphing concept. One of MIT Lincoln Laboratory's contributions towards this effort is the Integrated Radar-Tracker (IRT) application. The initial IRT consists of a Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) radar and a kinematic tracker (KT). As GMTI has received more community interest, it is used in this first document as a background for identification and discussion of promising computational issues which may be addressed by morphing. This document examines three areas from GMTI: data dependent load balancing; changing from streaming to threaded computation; and changing parameter sets.
