reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA108253 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A programmable signal processor which achieves fault tolerance and modularity through distribution of tasks among a number of identical programmable Common Elements including spares, is described. This processors design and usage in a meteorological Doppler radar signal processing application is discussed at several levels of detail covering hardware firmware, operating system software, user software, and development aids.
