DFT Decomposition and Implementation for Concurrent Execution on Multiple Processing Elements

摘要

One of the tasks being performed for the Microprocessor Applications to Avionics project, sponsored by AIr-360B, is the development of an experimental distributed microprocessor subsystem as a vehicle to investigate distributed processing concepts at the subsystem or node level. The experimental distributed microprocessor subsystem consists of six microprocessors that employ a shared memory for communications and control. The first phase of this effort will implement and demonstrate concurrent and cooperative use of these microprocessors to perform a selected application function. This report defines a distributed processing concept in terms of control primitives, variables, and structures and their use in performing a decomposed DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) application Function.
