Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of the applicability of the Mesh Synchronous Processor (MeshSP) architecture to a class of radar signal processing algorithms known as Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP). The MeshSP is a SIMD processor developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and marketed by Integrated Computing Engines, Inc. A high- level overview of the MeshSP architecture will be presented. Mappings of a matrix decomposition algorithm to the MeshSP architecture are described. A performance model for estimating computation and communication latencies for the Householder algorithm on the MeshSP using different mapping approaches will be presented. Results of the performance model will be presented.
