Real Time Considerations For DFT Algorithms

A recent research and development effort at Emerson Electric's Electronics and Space Division has been concerned with the development of a new type of modular reconfigurable signal processor called the Distributed Signal Processor (DSP). Such a processor would be capable of processing several different types of sensors simultaneously by operating in a multiple instruction, multiple data stream (MIMD) mode. This MIMD architecture would allow for the development of both general purpose and highly algorithm-specific processor modules which could be coupled together in varying numbers depending on the processing requirements. In addition, the processors should be dynamically reconfigurable to allow a degree of flexibility in the processor as the mission needs change and to provide a measure of fault tolerance.
