Hard Preprocessor Study.

摘要

The processing requirements for three preprocessing applications for a microprocessor are determined. The three applications examined are Kalman filtering, radar beamsteering, and the Global Positioning System user equipment computer. The estimated processor requirements include throughput, memory capacity, input/output rates, special instructions and hardware. The device technologies (TTL, ECL, IIL, and MOS) are examined to determine electrical and radiation performance. The available microprocessors are surveyed and a microprocessor architecture suitable for the possible applications is recommended. (Author)
