Application of Advanced Multi-Core Processor Technologies to Oceanographic Research

Abstract

New processor architectures (multi-core, multi-threaded) hold the promise of delivering enormous amounts of compute power in a small form factor and with low power requirements. However, new programming models are required to realize this potential. Our objectives are to deploy signal processing algorithms onto the IBM Cell Broadband Engine architecture, and to assess the Cell B/E potential as a processing engine in an autonomous vehicle.
