Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing on a Massively ParallelSupercomputer

摘要

This paper explores the performance of one implementation of an IFSAR DTEprocessor on a MPP. In recent years interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) processing technology has made available the ability to generate high accuracy digital terrain elevation (DTh) data. As with most SAR applications the computation involved is very intensive. Current generation massively parallel processors (MPP) provide the high performance required to do scalable SAR processing at a relatively modest cost.
