Programming Real-Time Multicomputers for Signal Processing (Prentice Hall International Series in Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing)

Programming Real-time Multicomputers for Signal Processing describes in depth the problems encountered when programming multicomputers for real-time systems. The book highlights the advantages of the description of algorithms by data-flow graphs, and goes on to give a survey on both the partitioning and allocation approaches described in the literature and the structural characteristics of the algorithms of signal processing, and control. It describes a feasible approach for partitioning and allocating signal processing algorithms on a homogeneous multicomputer, together with performance simulations and develops a translator from data-flow graphs to the programming language OCCAM.
