Abstract

The Rapid Prototyping of Application-Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program is changing the way engineers design embedded signal processorsby providing a process that will reduce by at least a factor of four both thetime-to-market and cost, and improve design quality. To achieve theseimprovements, Lockheed Martin‘s Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) is usinga methodology that stresses hardware and software reuse, and model-yeararchitectures that enable interoperability and upgrades through open interfacestandards. This paper describes ATL‘s model-year architecture, which defines aframework for reuse to enable low-cost technology upgrades for embeddedprocessors. This approach can be applied to a wide range of military andcommercial applications.
